Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. – 1 Peter 2: 1-3
Growing up is something you don’t really have any control over. You go to bed one height and wake up two inches taller. Weird, I know. Spiritual grow doesn’t work the same way, though. People don’t automatically grow up spiritually. Some people become Christians but stay spiritual infants their whole lives. Can you imagine being a baby for 20, 30, or 40 years? Peter encourages his church to dig into Scripture because he knows that’s the best way for believers to grow in their faith. Without the Word in our lives, we’ll never be able to grow up to enjoy all the blessings of walking with God. Don’t settle for being saved; that’s just the beginning. Make it a habit to drink in God’s Word. You’ll be surprised at how much it helps you.
Is Scripture a chore or a blessing for you to read?
Ask God to give you a hunger for the Bible. Keep praying for that until it happens.

Sometimes it's both but once I'm in the scripture even if it starts out as a chore it ends as a blessing!
