Picture: Tree (the growth process)
Scripture: Isaiah 55:10-13; Isaiah 61:3; Psalm 92:12-15; 1 Corinthians 13:11
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Think about a tree’s growth process, one that starts as a small sapling, but after many years, it slowly reaches its flourishing maturity. Just as a tree withstands the various seasonal weather changes year after year, our spiritual growth also endures various kinds of circumstances in each season of life.
Are you wiser today in your understanding of God and His word than you were when you first came to know the Him? In what ways?
What are some (positive or negative) circumstances in your life that have caused you to grow in your faith?
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7
Dear Lord,
Forgive us when we try to do things in our own strength. Remind us that you are alive inside of us, and your Spirit is full of power, love, and self-control. Abide in us and through us in each circumstance and every interaction today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
