But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Discerning good from evil is an attribute of maturity. Growing up and getting older is not the same as being mature. Our minds must be trained and disciplined in the same way we train and discipline our bodies.
As babies we start out with milk, soft food and then solid food for the training of our stomach. In our walk in righteousness we must start out the same way. We must choose to go from being fed simple teachings to learning the mysteries in God's word by studying and listening to the Holy Spirit for ourselves.
Spiritual maturity and wisdom do not come with age but with praying, studying, meditating and choosing to do what is right.
