God calls us to keep growing every day of our lives. Peter calls us to keep growing;
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3.18).
Paul presses us to keep growing (Philippians 3.12-14). The invitation and challenge of the 1st essential is to grow and keep growing as long as we live.
The aging years offer incredible opportunities to GROW.
Introducing the Concept of Growth
We begin with growth. Growth is at the core of life. God calls us to keep growing - even in our aging years.
“Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4.23). Growth comes from the heart. How is your heart growing? How are you growing? Does this ever stop?
We always want to grow – God means for us to grow in every way. Jesus grew (Luke 2.52). “He learned obedience from the things which He suffered” (Hebrews 5.8).
God’s desire is to keep growing us into the image of Christ (Romans 8.29).
We must be alert and resist things that grow into our lives through pride and sin because those things grow against the work of God within us.
We want those little people in our lives to grow. No parent would want to see their kids or grandkids not grow. Children are born to grow.
We want to grow in understanding what’s expected in our maturity process in life. Are we growing in wisdom, education, relationships, work, and in the work of life? Are we growing in our relationships, our marriages, our families, or in our community of faith? God wants us to grow.
