Solid Food

I enjoy the description in Hebrews 5:14 about solid food. It says: solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. That's another way of describing wisdom. The ability to tell the difference between a foolish action that will lead into sin and a wise action that will bring long term good is not always immediately obvious. Even when we are faced with what seems to be an obvious choice, in our short-term thinking we'll go for the easier option. "Easier" is the important word here, because the more you exercise making wise choices by sheer discipline, the more clear the basic choices become.
