The Challenge to Keep Growing

SCRIPTURE
Hebrews 6:1
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity


OBSERVATION
There is a tendency within all of us to stop growing and to rely instead on things we have already learned.


APPLICATION
God wants us to continue to grow. Growing means continuing to stretch and expand. Many times it means being uncomfortable. But it always means that we continue to learn new things about God. It's easy to stagnate, it's not so easy to grow! Spiritual growth takes a sustained effort. It takes a decision coupled with a day-by-day walking it out.


PRAYER
Lord, help me not to rely on yesterday's bread, but to continue to get fresh bread from Your Hand every single day. Amen!
