WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Bro. RD Custodio
ARE YOU GROWING (Part-1)?
“..It is [God] who has made us, and not we ourselves...” Psalm 100:3 NAS
Today’s Insight
Some of us worry that if we seek to grow spiritually, we will have to become someone we’re not. That’s not how God works. He doesn’t discard your raw material—He redirects it. John Ortberg tells the story of his strong-willed four-year-old Shauna, who was determined to take her tricycle beyond the boundaries her mother had set for her. Her mom said, “Shauna, there’s the tree…and there’s the driveway…you can ride on the sidewalk between [them] but you can’t go past that. If you do you’ll get a spanking. I have to be inside; I’ve got stuff to do. But I’m going to be watching you. Don’t go past either one of those boundaries or you’re going to get a spanking.”
Defiantly Shauna backed up to her mom, pointed to her spanking zone, and said, “Well, you might as well spank me now, because I’ve got places to go.” It probably wouldn’t surprise you to learn that Shauna grew up with formidable leadership capacities and an indomitable drive! And the chances are she will always have them. God doesn’t create something, then throw it away. He creates it, and if there’s a problem He redeems and redirects it.
Application
The Bible says, “It is [God] who has made us, and not we ourselves.” When you “Grow,” you become more you, more like the person God had in mind when He thought you up. Yes, you’ll change in the process. You’ll become a “new creation” (2Co 5:17 NKJV). But “new” doesn’t mean completely different; it’s more like a piece of furniture that gets restored to its intended beauty.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank you for giving us time to grow and think ourselves for improvement and innovation. Lord teaches us to learn the pass mistakes that I made especially when I disobeyed my parents and provoke them against their good advises which I believe their advises are for my own good. Lord allows your Holy Spirt to teach that I may to learn and become matured and focus on the growth of my spiritual life and even my profession and service to your Kingdom so that you will be pleased Lord for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved.
