WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Bro. RD Custodio
ARE YOU GROWING (Part-2)?
“They will flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalm 92:13 NIV
Today’s Insight
Inside you there’s a battle between your growing self—the person you were created to be—and your languishing self. “What’s that?” you ask. Your languishing self feels uneasy and discontent. You’re drawn to bad habits like mindlessly watching TV, drinking too much, misusing sex, excessive spending—things designed to temporarily anesthetize pain. Your thoughts automatically drift in the direction of fear and anger. Learning doesn’t feel worthwhile. You think about yourself most of the time.
Whereas growing [thriving, flourishing, blossoming, and prospering] takes place:
(1) In your spirit. You sense you’re beginning to receive ideas and energy from an outside source. And you are. You’re being empowered by God’s Spirit. We talk about being inspired, which literally means “God breathed.” God breathes into you; you come alive and feel like you’ve a purpose for living.
(2) In your mind. Your thoughts are marked by joy and peace. You have a desire to love and to learn. You’re literally being transformed by “the renewing of your mind” (Ro 12:2 NIV).
(3) In your time. You wake each day with a sense of excitement, and you realize you’re never too young to grow.
Application
Mozart was composing brilliant music when he was five. Paul told Timothy, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young” (1Ti 4:12 NIV). You also realize you’re never too old to flourish. Grandma Moses was sixty-nine when she took up painting, and artist Marc Chagall did some of his best work in his nineties. It’s humbling to acknowledge you can’t be anything you want. But once you accept that, and seek to maximize what God created you to be, you start growing.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank you for Word which inspire me to make my life grow and flourish. Lord I believe that attitude to grow is to established first inside in my mind and spirit. And growing must intentionally practice and spent more time on the aspects that you want to grow.
