LOVE WORTH FINDING DEVOTIONAL – MESSAGE FOR TODAY.
Ponder This
What is maturity? Maturity is Christlikeness. Are you becoming more like Jesus? That was the goal of Paul’s ministry. In Colossians 1:28, Paul said, “Him we preach,” that is Jesus, “wanting every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” That word, perfect, means mature.
Now maturity is a lifelong process. It’s not a hundred-yard dash, it’s a marathon. Nobody is instantly mature. A wise man said if you want to grow a squash, you can do that in forty days. If you want to grow an oak, you can do that in forty years. You can be instantly spiritual, you can be gifted, you can be healthy, but you cannot be mature. This is why it is so important to know how to move into maturity, to grow spiritually from childhood to adolescence to fatherhood. We need to grow in our faith daily—it will bring us to maturity in Christ, closer fellowship with each other, and a more intimate relationship with God.
Who in your life is mature in his or her faith?
How can you pursue maturity in your faith?
Practice This
Consider one step you could take to grow in maturity in your faith, whether it’s sharing your faith, praying, or reading your Bible.
