Bible Devotional 10/10/11 Are you growing or shrinking?

[ricky023]

"1Corithians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

I’ve been told that a wasp’s body is larger at the time that it is hatched than at any other time of its life. That’s amazing! A wasp will go its entire life and never grow a bit. But when I heard that, I was unfortunately reminded of many Christians today who have these great moments of new birth, but never begin to learn to walk in the newness of life God wants.
There’s such a resistance to spiritual growth in the church today. And many Christians I’ve spoken with seem to be more interested in their number of baptisms and people walking the aisle than they care about actually pouring into those who make a decision for Christ.
If you’re in Christ, you’ve been born again as a new babe. But you can’t just stay that way. You have to grow and get stronger every day for the Lord. How ridiculous would it look if you saw a mature man sitting by himself and playing with G.I. Joe action figures? It just doesn’t make sense!
Grow in your relationship with God. Find someone who can disciple you in the Word. Learn from other Christians how they walk with Christ. Have a consistent devotional life. Don’t be stagnant, but make every effort to become a spiritually-mature follower of Christ!

Heavenly Father, I pray for forgiveness of sins. I pray the day is Blessed for who are here and our families. Lord help us to grow in your Word. Help us to follow your instructions and to live a Christian life. Teach us to love and not Hate. Help us into forgiveness, since we have to be forgiven. In your Precious name we pary, Blessed be Jesus our Lord. AMEN
