ARE YOU ABORTING YOUR OWN GROWTH?

By Jessica Meador


Let’s ask ourselves a few questions. Am I spiritually mature? Am I still being moved by the things of God? Do I have a desire to grow closer to God? Is quoting scripture enough?

In Hebrews 5 the author is warning the Hebrew Christians about falling out of church, which all starts with spiritual immaturity. Maturity has nothing to do with your age so we ask what leads to spiritual maturity? Desire, a desire to know God, with all your wants God is your number one want. You constantly want to be in His presence and know Him personally. Then comes knowledge, you learn more about God and who he is when you spend time with Him. You understand scripture better and things just seem to be clearer. But because you now know and understand Jesus’ words, then comes responsibility. God gives you responsibility because He trust you. Last by not least comes action, God has given us responsibility and is now requiring us to do something more with what we know. Not only living by the truth but teaching it!

READ HEBREWS 5:11-14

Pray and ask God to show you where you can be working on your spiritual growth. Pursue God like you never have before. Today I am choosing to eat meat and to quit being bottle fed.
