Good Morning! 2 Peter 3:18 "But GROW in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory now and forever!" Amen! You know for me I find it sad that as Christians so many of us miss our mark in life, because we never get off the milk and into the meat. We never GROW UP! And be the mature Christians we are to be. One reason is because we miss the WHOLE meaning of Gods grace.(Gods, Riches, At, Christs, Experence GRACE) Because as Christians we don't take the time to do the things that help us get off the milk and onto the meat and potatoes. We don't do the things that help us grow in Gods Grace and Knowledge. Like prayer, studying the Word, Fellowship with other Christians and sharing our witness with others. So many of us fall short of our mark, the true potential we have in Christ because we are not growing. We are getting just enough milk to sustain us, but you cannot Grow without real food. I know! I used to be one of those people. I went to meetings and church. Went to Bible studies, but when I got home my Bible went on a shelf and that's where it stayed until the next one. See this Vs SIMPLY tells us we MUST GROW, in the Grace and Knowledge of God. Its very simple if we get off the milk and onto the Meat and Potatoes of being a Christian we will grow! But to do that we have to do those things I mentioned before. Getting in the Word, Prayer and sharing the Love of Jesus. And that is what makes us Mature in Christ. So today get off the Milk and onto the MEAT! And Hey! If you need help with that meat Remember I work in a Meat Market! lol lol! HABD!

GREAT DEVO TODAY
ReplyDeleteThis is such encouragment and motivatioin for all of us. For we all have some growing to do and will till the day we leave this world.
God wants to have a personal relationship with us. How can this happen if we don't put fourth an effort to know Him. Really KNOW Him not just know ABOUT Him.
James 4:8 tells us if we draw near to Him He will drawer near to us
(Is anyone else hungry?)
