Growing in Character and Maturity

01/11/2016

Today on Morning Glory it was Inspirational Monday. Our message today was " Growing in Character  and Maturity". Our scripture  today was Romans 12:2.

Do not be confirmed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may decent what is good, pleasing,  and perfect will of God. (Holman, CSB)

One of the greatest things you and I can do in life grow. Unfortunately we can grow two ways. We can grow forward or we can grow moving backwards. In other words we grow in the area of not making progress.

Norman Vincent Peale and the following advice for believers of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities. " Ask the God who made you to keep remaking you." What great advice, but often gone ignored.

When you and I cease to grow, either emotionally or spiritually,  we do ourselves and injustice where our life is concerned. But, if we take the time to get in the Word of God, and yield ourselves to His will, and obey Him, we will continue to make progress, not only spiritually but naturally.

Our lives and our character are formed by the many thoughts and choices that we make every day. Each day, you and I make decisions that can strengthen our character or lessen it. It going to be a matter of choice. What choice will you make today that will determine your level of character and maturity?

We must grow in both areas. When we choose to honor our Lord and King with our thoughts, our prayers, and our actions, we keep growing.

"A Christian is never in the state of completion, but always in the process of becoming," says Martin Luther. Our Christian growth is an on going process. God's plan for our guidance is for us to grow gradually in wisdom  before we get to the cross roads of life.

Today, think about the choices and the decisions you have made in the beginning of this 2016. Are the these choices helping your character and maturity? If not then do your best to take a self evaluation and start right now making the necessary changes so that you can grow in character and maturity.

Together our prayer should be that God helps us to grow in His wisdom. When we study His Word our prayer should be that we obey Him. Let the power of God's Word grow you up. Every day should be a precious journey with the Father.

Growing in Character and Maturity....
