Today's Devotion:
"GROW and COMMUNICATE"
HI!
Did you know that when a baby is born, the
first word they utter is YHWH?
The doctor pats them on the rear or on
the back and they suck in a deep breath
YHH!
Then, they let out that breath with a cry of
WAAAAH!
As a parent, that's a wonderful sound!
But our deepest desire is for that baby to
GROW and become an adult.
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Eph 4:14-15
14 That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to
deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
Did you know that our first reaction to the
realization of SIN is to suck in air?
We are aghast at the comprehension of
being AGAINST God!
Our next reaction is to let out the air with
a sound of WHHHH.
And, God's greatest desire is that we
GROW into SPIRITUAL adulthood!
Little babies must be taught PHYSICAL
things like: drinking, eating, crawling,
walking, learning.
Babes (spiritually newborn Christians)
must also be taught things like:
*they are bought with the blood of Christ;
*sealed in His Holy Spirit forever;
*fully adopted into the family of Christ;
*and sanctified to provide usefulness;
*and justified to approach God in prayer;
*and to be studious in God's Word.
As babes in Christ we must CONTINUE
to grow into adulthood.
We need to grow in
*EDUCATION,
*COMMUNICATION and
*MINISTRY to others.
If we do not grow spiritually, we will be
easily swayed with the "sleight of men"
and with "wind(s) of doctrine" that are
not according to God's will in His Word.
Surely, the "babes in Christ" are just as
precious to God our Father's heart as
any of His children.
And, just as surely, He wants them to
GROW!
Are you GROWING in your relationship
with Christ?
Are you EXPRESSING that growth to
others daily?
Love ya!
