Good Morning!! One sign of maturity, is also a sign of Christian growth,...and that is; knowing that we need to seek help and advice when problems arise. Talking with friends and sharing problems and joys, helps both of you grow.This principle holds true in our spiritual journey, just as surly as, beginning my day with my devotionals has strengthened me spiritually.
Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times."—Romans 12:12 (TEV)
Prayer has become my first response, when thing don't appear to be going well. Not to have problems fixed, but rather to see God's hand in them,...that I may move more easily into His will. I realize anew the importance of not only praying for someone, but letting them know that they are being prayed for. Sometimes that may be what's needed at that moment. A kind word of encouragement is often all it takes to show someone that we care.
Taking time for God each day, develops strength for living.
Father in Heaven, we give You thanks, for each day of our lives and the opportunities and joys that each day brings for doing Your will. Amen.
"For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth."
( THE PURSUIT OF GOD, A.W. Tozer, p. 9)
