This verse is a final encouragement from the Apostle Peter. He urges believers to keep growing spiritually:

We look into this in perspective of a baby teething, Just like a baby starts with milk but eventually grows teeth so they can eat more solid food, Christians are meant to grow in their spiritual lives too.

• • A teething baby is going through growth — sometimes uncomfortable, but necessary.

  • Peter is saying that believers shouldn't stay spiritual "babies" forever. We should grow stronger in understanding God's grace and knowing Jesus better.

  • Just like teething prepares a baby for more nourishment, growing in grace and knowledge prepares a Christian for a deeper, stronger walk with God.

The psalmist expresses an inner prompting or desire to seek God's presence (“His face”), and responds with a firm commitment to do so. It reflects a deep personal relationship with God—one of devotion, obedience, and longing for closeness with Him.

In essence, it's a declaration: "God, my heart urges me to draw near to You—and I will."

Why Do We Seek God? Examining Our Motives & Intentions

As believers, it's important to pause and ask ourselves: Why am I seeking God?

Sometimes we need a heart check—to make sure our pursuit of Him comes from a place of genuine love, not just desire for what He can do for us.

This episode explores the importance of seeking God with the right motives, reminding us to align our hearts with His, and pursue Him for who He is, not just for what He gives.
