Day 9
1 Peter 2:2-3
So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. 2 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
Grow by getting rid of evil and grow by desiring God’s word and presence in our lives.

- What is the pure spiritual milk that I’m supposed to crave?
