“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 (ESV)
Where there is health there is growth.
A healthy body will grow. A healthy believer will grow spiritually. A healthy church will grow both numerically and spiritually.
You determine the level of participation in the process of maturation. God honors your devotion to daily spiritual disciplines. You also have the wonderful opportunity to assist in the maturation process in others.
God is the source of growth. You have the privilege of participating and cooperating in the growth process. You join God in your personal spiritual development. You also join God in investing in the spiritual development of other Christ followers.
Maturation results in multiplication. As you grow, you assist others in their growth. Moses mentored Joshua. Elijah mentored Elisha. Naomi mentored Ruth. Daniel mentored Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Paul mentored Timothy.
Does your life evidence spiritual health? Are you growing? How have you invested in another believer’s maturation?
Following Jesus Every Day,
