Spiritual Progression
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” (Job 8:7)
Today’s Morsel: How do you see yourself in ten years, should the Lord tarry? What goals and visions do you have set for yourself? Spiritual progression starts by setting a vision for yourself. Peter tells us, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18) If you were to evaluate yourself on Peter’s challenge, where are you in your understanding of God’s grace and your knowledge of Him? Solomon also tells us, “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.” (Proverbs 19:2) You can’t keep living your life as a Christian and not possess spiritual knowledge and understanding. Everything in your life flows from the knowledge of who Jesus Christ is. If you don’t know Him, then you will not understand how the Bible (His word and instructions), apply to your lives. Spiritual progression begins with knowledge and a desire to go on unto perfection. Heaven has got to be your goal. But you can’t get there not knowing God and the way. You must add spiritual things, such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discretion, to your life. You don’t want to be a runt Christian. You may start out small, but in the end, you want to be fat and flourishing.
Sing: I’m pressing on the upward way, new heights I’m gaining every day; still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand, by faith, on heaven’s tableland. A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant me feet on higher ground.
Thought For Today: The more you know, the more you grow!
