Spiritual Growth

walking in the Spirit; the challenge of the next step; embracing change; discipled and discipling. 

Galatians 5:25 NLT
“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.”

Living by the Spirit is God’s plan for our lives.  Knowing Him, seeking Him, listening to Him.

Life can be challenging with more distractions in the modern world than we have ever encountered.  The best way to put God first in our lives is to be intentional to seek Him first and ask Him for wisdom so we can make healthy choices each day.  We were created to grow – not stagnate or rely on past revelations and encounters with His spirit – but to seek Him daily. Each day is a new day the Lord has made and He clearly asks us to seek Him in every single part of our lives, not just pockets of it. 

When we are obedient to even the smallest God whispers, He will bless us for our faithfulness in the small.  When we reach out to a younger Christian and give our time to take them on a journey, discipling them in His truths and in the ways of the Spirit, we will in turn be blessed as we give of ourselves and allow God to use us.  God knows the deepest desires of our hearts, and as we surrender to His will and His spirit daily, He will continue to direct our path and open doors that bring true riches that the world could never offer.

Trust Him today and be prepared to embrace the change in our lives that listening and obeying the leading of His Spirit brings.
