Growing Up

Our walk with God results in us changing over time. There was a time early on in my walk when I thought I had learned all I needed to know about God. I thought that everything that needed to be known had already been revealed. These days I think that is a process that never really ends. We continually grow.

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

We see here that there are positions in the church that are meant to serve the rest of the body of believers. These servants and these positions are in place until “we all come into the unity of the faith.” As I look around it is my estimate that we are not there yet. If that is true, then we all need to continue to learn. The exciting thing to me is that there is so much to learn! We could learn for a lifetime and never learn it all!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. We praise and lift up the name Yahuah! We need You and Your kingdom. Send us Your overwhelming provision now. Heal us and guide us. Let us serve You and each other. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
