English Standard Version
Well, there goes the talk shows and political commentary! Talk radio is probably also going by the wayside. Social media may not have long in the world, either, and perhaps that is a gift to society!
Jesus amazed his listeners by telling them they needed to be like children. We often think children are less than adults, but then I listen to adults talk to each other, and I spend time around children... and we could learn a lot from the youngest among us!
What we're learning here in 1 Peter is that we need to recognize how dependent we are on the Holy Spirit to grow into people made in the image of God. If we follow the ways of the world, we'll end up filled with envy and deceit. But if we let ourselves be let by God each and every day, following where God is leading and treating one another the way we know we should, then we grow into the people God wants us to be.
May we first taste that the Lord is good, and develop a craving for God's Word, so that we may drink of it each day, and be led, little by little, growing into the disciples we are called to be.
