Feed
Them Where They Are (Isaiah 66:11)
I
want to share with you a vision from God communicated through Isaiah, where
Israel was to become a nurturing and abundant feeding station. Just like a
mother who lovingly nourishes her children, Israel was destined to be a source
of sustenance where people from all corners could be fed and cared for. In the
same way, you, as a cherished child of God, are being transformed into a place
of nourishment for others to partake in the bread of heaven.
As
you walk this journey of faith, remember that people are at different stages of
their spiritual growth, akin to individuals needing different levels of
sustenance. Some may be at the colostrum level, symbolizing the beginning
stages of spiritual nourishment akin to the liquid substance preceding milk. It
is essential to cater to individuals based on where they are in their journey.
If someone requires colostrum, provide them with colostrum, meeting them at
their specific point of need.
Different
individuals are at various levels of spiritual maturity, analogous to being at
different stages of milk consumption. Some may be at the initial milk level,
ready to receive only a small amount. Others may be at a stage where they can
handle "milk and cereal," requiring a bit more substance to sustain
them through the night. As a spiritual guide, it is crucial to be inventive and
adaptable in your approach to feeding others where they are at in their
journey. This ensures they can digest and absorb the teachings without feeling
overwhelmed or choked by the information presented to them.
Some
individuals are at the puree stage, analogous to how I would prepare my
daughters' food by blending it until it was easier for them to consume. While
they may not be able to handle solid food in its original form, they are still
in need of sustenance and nourishment. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Others
may have progressed to the meat level, where they require solid or challenging
content to chew on. These individuals seek deeper concepts, ideas, and
challenges that stimulate their thinking and understanding. As a mentor or
guide, it is essential to meet people at their respective stages, providing
them with the appropriate nourishment and knowledge they need to grow and
develop in their spiritual journey.
