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:
Awake sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Ephesians 5:14
Dear Lord,
Wake us up to new and beautiful things every day! Shine on us with your blessing, so that we can then be a blessing. Help us to remember that this is our purpose. Yes, please wake us up to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
