GROWING UP!

In Colossians 1:10 we are told we should increase in the knowledge of God. 

You ought to know more about God and His Kingdom this week than you did last week.

Psalm 71:21 tells us we are to be growing in our influence. I hope I have not reached the pinnacle in my life when it comes to the influence I have for good in the lives of others. 

If you call yourself a leader and no one is following you, then you are not influencing them, you are just taking a walk. You and I need to grow in influence.

In Proverbs 13:11 it says we are to be growing and increasing materially. I don’t know of many who couldn’t grow in this area!

Isaiah 29:19 speaks of increasing in joy. From appearances, some people seem to grow more and more sour as the days go by and have less and less of a sense of humor. Listen, the more you advance in age, the more your capacity to laugh at life’s ups and downs should grow.

2 Thessalonians 1:3 teaches us that we should grow in faith. Now faith certainly touches all areas of life; and, hopefully, today you don’t freak out like you used to when you are faced with a trial, because your faith has grown and you have tasted and seen that the Lord is good.
