Planted to Grow
This week we are resolving to “grow” with God. I’m sure many you have the will and desire to grow with God. However, as with anything that grows it needs to be planted in the right environment. As we start to grow in God together we need to be reminded that where we are planted is the key to growth.
In this passage we are given the recipe to be “planted” in a healthy environment that will lead to growth. Just like plants, if they are not planted in good soil they will not grow.
Psalm 1:1-3
They not only need the right soil or environment to grow, but they need to be tended to daily to remain healthy.
Here are 7 things that we can apply regularly for healthy growth:
1. In order to grow we need to eat—The Bible
2. In order to grow we need to breathe—Prayer
3. In order to grow we need good spiritual hygiene—Confession of sin
4. In order to grow we need a caring family—Fellowship
5. In order to grow we need regular exercise—Service
6. In order to grow we need protection—Temptation
7. In order to grow we need to give—Stewardship
