Become

Have you ever anticipated a growth change in yourself, only to find it wasn’t happening nearly as fast as you thought it would? You’ve probably also had times when you’ve become so discouraged with your pace of growth that you gave up. The truth is that anyone who’s pursuing Jesus and honestly seeking to live for him is changing. No heart that stays focused on him can remain the same. But no one changes completely in a day. Or a week. Or a decade. The life of the most committed, most obedient Jesus follower is a life of continual learning and growth. It takes diligence and work, contrary to the common misconception that we simply sit back and let God do it all. And it takes complete dependence on God, contrary to the equally common fallacy that we do it all ourselves. The Godward life is filled with mistakes. And humility. And forgiveness. And risks. And hard times. And strength that increases through hardship.

The further into this life you go, the more you’ll realize you wouldn’t trade it for anything. Whether you expect your spiritual journey toward eternity to last seven more days or seventy more years, let’s look at a few growth dynamics to anticipate as you live a life that counts for Christ.

Challenge: Pray through Scripture and ask God to help you grow in every circumstance today.
