RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 10TH JANUARY 2026.
Jesus talked a lot about being a “disciple.” If you’re a believer, that’s probably a word you hear a lot too.
But what did Jesus mean when he used the word disciple? To be a disciple, you must spend time with Jesus.
In any relationship, the more time you invest, the more you’re going to get out of it. It’s true in your relationship with Jesus too. You can’t be a part-time disciple; it’s a full-time responsibility.
Jesus said, “Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me” (John 12:26 NLT).
This verse teaches three things about spiritual growth.
First, spiritual growth is a choice. The verse starts off, “Anyone who wants to serve me. . .” God won’t force growth on you, and it won’t come automatically. You have to want and choose to serve him—to be his disciple.
If you feel distant from God, it’s not because he’s moved away. He’s always right there, inviting you to draw near to him. You have the choice to draw closer to him or to move away.
Second, spiritual growth is a commitment. Jesus said that his disciples “must follow” him. After you’ve made the choice to grow, you “must” follow through with commitment!
You grow by making commitments. Getting married is a commitment that makes you grow up. So is having kids, or taking on a new job, or pursuing an education. Anytime you make a commitment, you grow. That includes when you commit to being Jesus’ disciple.
Third, spiritual growth is a relationship. Jesus said, “My servants must be where I am.” It’s not about rules. It’s not about rituals. It’s not about a formula. It’s not about a bunch of expectations. It’s about being with Jesus.
Obviously, Jesus isn’t here physically today. So how can you be with him? A great way is by having an ongoing conversation with him. Those can be quick prayers as you’re talking to someone at work, cleaning your house, or driving a car. As you do this over time, you will hear God speaking back to you, by filling your mind with truth and putting impressions in your heart.
Are you ready to start growing as a disciple of Jesus? It’s simple to get started: Just spend time with him.
