So after work tonight I get home. The family’s out. It’s quiet.
I brew a cup of tea, pull out my journal, open my Bible, and get the chance to spend time with God reading 1 Thessalonians 3 through 2 Timothy 4.
What was God speaking to me today about? "Never stop growing, Tim. Never, ever stop growing…your entire life."
How did I know this was God’s thought for me today? As I was reading, I made notes about whatever seemed to "pop out" at me. Near the end, I realized the SAME thought kept jumping out at me over & over today. Here are the four journal comments that seemed to be connected:
- 1Thes 4:1 – Never stop growing & increasing
- 1Thes 4:10 – Never stop growing in love
- 1Tim 4:6 – Ministers need to be (continually) "nourished in the words" too
- 1Tim 4:15 – "Your progress" implies the minister must keep growing
Spiritual growth…a lifelong process for everyone. (Thanks, God!!!)
