Wednesday – Mountains Grow, Too!
Focus Passage: Hebrews 6:1-3
Read: Psalm 92:12-15; 2 Peter 1:5-6
I recently watched a program about the Milky Way galaxy. One part described the birth of stars in a nebula, even showing beautiful pictures of these huge clouds of dust and gas. It was fascinating to watch the computer generated model of a star’s birth and growth. God made the process similar for many things in creation. Trees, grass, animals, fish, humans, clouds, mountains, stars, and even galaxies are all “born” at some point in time. Then they all start the process of growing and maturing, some naturally, some with the help of others that are more mature.
After the Lord brings us to birth as a Christian, a new child of God, He desires that we begin to grow toward maturity. It’s easy for us to spend an inordinate amount of time on the basics of our faith. It’s also easier to do that than to seek maturity and depth in Christ. That takes effort and commitment. Once you understand the “elementary teachings”, ask the Lord for His wisdom and direction to take you toward maturity.
1. Do you have a good understanding of the basic fundamental truths of our faith in Christ and the gospel?
2. In what specific ways have you begun the journey toward maturity? Is this something that you continually seek?
3. Think about times in your life that God permitted great times of spiritual growth in your life. What changed during those times?
