As you carry out the assignments that God gives you, it is very important that you continue to mature in every way. The passing of time will ensure physical maturity, but it does not ensure any other kind of maturity.
Remember, Jesus calls us to salvation and to ministry as His ambassadors, but He also calls us to become His disciples, to learn from Him. According to Webster, to learn means “to acquire by study.” This definition suggests that the act of learning requires effort on the part of the student. Learning is actively taking in knowledge and making it a part of your life in such a way that it becomes yours, not watching and hoping to catch a glimpse of obvious truth here and there.
Once you have given your life to Jesus, you are saved and so are spared the punishment you deserve for sin, but it takes a lifetime to figure out all that serving the Lord involves and to figure out how God wants to use your life for His glory. As a disciple of Jesus, you must take responsibility for your own growth and maturity.
Respond to the following in your journal:

About this Plan
Welcome! We are so excited that you want to explore God’s unique plan for your life. Remember, ultimately, the goal of this reading plan is not to figure out what your future job might be, but to hear from God about what it means to be called, so make sure to give it your best effort! Enjoy the journey! Here are just a few tips as you jump in: • Come prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. • Shut out all distractions. • Start with prayer. Keep communication between you and God open and easy by confessing any unconfessed sin, accepting His forgiveness, and asking Him to speak to your heart through Bible study. • Take your time. Read all of the verses listed, listen for God’s voice. You may want to write in a journal as you go so you can track your spiritual progress and remember what God says to you.
