Growing is a verb – it never stops. “But speaking the truth in love, may GROW UP into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:”- Eph 4:15
To grow up into Him (Jesus) requires that we never stop feeding on the Word and applying it to every situation of our lives. Feeding on the right thing produces the power to grow in all the right areas. If you sit down and watch TV and eat a whole bag of potato chips then wonder why you are getting fatter and having bad health you are not as smart as you need to be! You become what you eat and are only able to grow in the area that you are feeding. Tons of fat, salt and sugar produce bad results in our physical bodies.
Tons of doubt, fear, lies and negativity produce weak Christians. Don’t feed on things that you know are going to do harm to your spiritual health! Be smart, feed on the Word of God constantly. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” – Joshua 1:8 NKJV
Day and night means day and night. Some folks may think that we are “overboard” with the Word of God…but the truth is that you can never be overboard. You can never get enough. It is something that we should be addicted to. Feeding on the Word of God will cause growth and growth will produce fruit! Let’s keep growing.
