Grow Up!
1 CORINTHIANS 14:20 NIV 20 Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
It's fine to be a baby -- for awhile. But we expect babies to grow and mature. If anyone still acts like a baby when they are past that age -- something is wrong.
It's the same in the spiritual as in the physical realm -- we're supposed to grow up. But too many Christians seem content to remain babies.
Babies focus only on themselves and their needs. God desires for us to learn to love others and help them.
God wants His children to mature and be trained -- not be a bunch of babies for ever.
EPHESIANS 4:15 THE MESSAGE 15 God wants us to grow up ....
Sometimes we wonder why our prayers have not yet been answered. We sit in our corner and whine and complain about God not doing what He should. We throw fits and complain to everyone we see. We think God has failed us. But it is never true!
God is just expecting us to act on His Word, and continue walking in faith and love. God would not do anyone a favor by allowing them to never grow up.
God wants us to have good things, but He also wants us to grow up, to learn His ways, and to trust Him. So, instead of just instantly giving us everything, He encourages us to draw closer to Him, learn to walk in faith, and learn how to receive all He has provided for us.
So while you may not always like God's timing, it is the best for you, even though you may not think so now. Later you will rejoice, because you will more clearly understand what God has done.
EPHESIANS 4:15 NASB 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ,
Facing new things as a baby is likely very intimidating. For example, learning to walk is no doubt scary for a child. But they can do it, and after learning they would certainly never wish to go back.
It is the same with us now in our Christian life. God is urging us on: to use our faith, to act on His Word, to trust Him. It seems scary, but God knows we can do it. Once we learn how to walk with God by faith, it is a real joy and we would never wish to go back.
God desires for you to leave your little restricted world and step out into His world of unlimited possibilities where you can fellowship with Him.
SAY THIS: I will feed on God's Word and let Him mature me, so I won't act like a baby.

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Acts 13:2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When people genuinely worship, when they fast seeking God's will, and they pray earnestly and worship, our Father calls them to his service and mission in the world. Christian worship is not an end in itself, but a launching pad to Christian mission. Please don't get so caught up in your worship experience that you leave it at the door when you exit the building. Instead, understand that our worship together as Jesus' family is a blessing intended to inspire us to engage in public worship and service in the world throughout our everyday lives (Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 12:28-13:16). As we worship with our brothers and sisters, let's also listen to the words of the songs, the message of the Scriptures, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit on our hearts. God is calling us to his special mission in our world, so that we can bring grace and hope to a lost humanity!
My Prayer...
Father, please help me discern your will and follow your leading as I worship you with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Use the Holy Spirit to call me into a deeper ministry, a more committed service, and a heart for mission to the lost world around me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Darkness dominates our world, controls much of what is said, and how most people view their reality. So, in a world dominated by darkness, light should stand out. When someone lives for Jesus, people notice. The world cannot ignore the faithfulness of Jesus' disciples or forget their righteousness and gracious influence. The world might hate that influence, try to minimize it, or even directly oppose it. Dear friend, the evil one will try to prevent Jesus' light from being reflected into the world by his disciples! He will try to oppose that light, dim that light, and snuff out that light. Jesus, however, is the Light that cannot be snuffed out (John 1:5).
Will we be Jesus' agents of light in the world of darkness?
How will the world categorize that light?
How are we going to behave toward the hostile world around us that wants to snuff out our light?
Are others going to see our light and be drawn to our Father in Heaven, who sent his Son, Jesus, as the Light of the world?
Or will the world reject the way of Christ because our walk is more talk and less service to the lost world that needs to see obedience to the lifestyle and character of our Savior?
Let's ensure the light we share helps others see God's grace through our lives and then be drawn to our Savior. Let's be Jesus' lights on the hill, seen by all!
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, thank you for your grace that saved us. Please help us reflect your character and grace in all that we do, so that when people notice us and are aware of our Christian commitment, they will glorify you because of the service they have seen and the light I bring. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus never wanted us to give up our moral distinctiveness, our redemptive influence, or our loving impact on those around us just so we can be liked. The purpose of our presence in the world is to be the salt that preserves our culture from further moral decay, bitterness, spite, and other degrading social problems. And, we are to be the salt that seasons the bitter, dog-eat-dog world we live in with the salt of God's grace and mercy. We are to be the salt of the earth, disciples that prevent decay and bring the sweet taste of Jesus to a lost world.
My Prayer...
Dear Holy and Majestic LORD, please empower me to resist being molded into the values of the world around me. Instead, dear Father, please use my distinctiveness as a Christian, a follower of Jesus, to bless others and expand the influence and impact of your Kingdom, doing so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16). In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
