1 Peter 2:2 - As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:   From this verse we can see that milk is for babies, but as a baby grows we as their providers know that they must have some meat, to continue their development.  So it is with the word of God, we eat it daily as our bread.  And as we grow we begin to eat the meat of the word.

Hebrews 5:14 - But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Strong meat is for the mature Christian.  I found a wonderful scripture that helped me to understand what the meat of the word is.  It is found in the story about the women at the well in John chapter four.  The disciples went into town to buy some food and Jesus ministered to a Samaritan women at the well, when his disciples returned they urged him to eat.  What Jesus said is so profound.

John 4:31-34 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat."But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciple’s one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." 

Did you see it? The meat of the word is to do the will of God and finish the work.  May we eat daily what God provides.
