Grow

October 11th – Colossians 2:6

Colossians 2:6

Have you ever noticed how it can be easy to trust Jesus with our salvation yet struggle to trust Him with the everyday things we face? We believe He loves us, yet we worry about tomorrow. Or we try to figure everything out on our own, and forget to invite Him into the little things that make up our days.

But just as we received Christ by faith, we are called to keep walking with Him by faith. That means trusting Him when we don’t have all the answers, seeking His wisdom when we don’t know which way to go, and letting His Word guide the choices we make. It means talking to Him throughout our day, not just when we’re in trouble. And learning to depend on His strength instead of always trying to handle everything ourselves.

Walking with Jesus doesn’t mean we’ll never stumble or have days when our faith feels weak. It means we keep turning back to Him, allowing Him to teach us, correct us, and help us grow. We don’t have to have everything figured out today. We just need to keep walking with the Lord, trusting that He knows the way and will help us take the next step.

October 3rd – Luke 8:15

Luke 8:15

There’s something special about planting a garden. You put a tiny seed into the ground, cover it with soil, water it, and then you wait. You don’t see much happening at first, but underneath the surface something is beginning to grow. And in time, that little seed begins to produce something beautiful.

Jesus uses this same picture to teach us about our hearts. God’s Word is like a seed, and our hearts are the soil. We can hear His Word every day, but hearing it isn’t enough. We have to receive it, hold onto it, and allow it to take root in our lives.

But sometimes our hearts can become hard or crowded. Worry, disappointment, fear, and the hurts we carry can take up so much space that we leave very little room for God’s Word to grow. Or to reach the places in our hearts that need it most.

The good news is that God can change the soil of our hearts. He can soften what has become hard, and make room for something new to grow. Yet just like a garden doesn’t produce a harvest overnight, spiritual growth takes time too. Time for God to work beneath the surface to strengthen our faith, change our hearts, and teach us to trust Him one day at a time.

September 25th – Proverbs 4:11

Week 5 – Wisdom In Following God (Proverbs 4:11)

They say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and that’s how our walk with Jesus is meant to be. From the moment we receive Him as our Savior, we embark on a spiritual journey. A lifetime path intended to mature, grow, and deepen our faith. However life has a way of knocking us off course with the twists and turns of distractions, temptations, and challenges. No wonder so many take a wrong path, feel lost, and far away from God. But king Solomon was the wisest of all kings. And in Proverbs 4:11 he reminds us of God’s even greater, infinite, wisdom. A precious wisdom always there to guide us and give us a long, good life. When we stumble all we have to do is pick ourselves up, dust off the setbacks, and refocus on Jesus. And no matter how far we’ve wandered, when we come back to Him with a repentant heart, our Lord is there to direct us back on track, making our paths straight once again. He is our loving guide. The one who brings clarity to the journey when we trust Him.

Questions For Reflection –

  1. How can we rely on God’s wisdom to guide us back to the right path when we feel lost or distracted in life?
  1. In what ways can we stay focused on Jesus to ensure our spiritual walk remains steady and strong despite life’s challenges?

Let God’s wisdom be your compass, and He’ll always guide you on the straight and steady path. 🙏🏻❤️
