Ezekiel 7:1-9:11, Hebrews 5:1-14, Psalm 105:1-15, Proverbs 26:28
Pray: Begin by thanking the Lord for His greatness. A greater thankfulness emerges from a greater comprehension of your need for the Lord to be great in your life. Thank Him!
Read: Have the same posture as the Psalmist as you approach His word. “Search for the Lord and his strength; continually seek him” (Psalm 105:4). Come to His word hungry and ready to eat on solid food.
Edify: Notice that the author of Hebrews expects maturation and progression in walking out our faith. Are you still being fed milk or are you actively feeding yourself solid food? Are you passively remaining “spiritually dull” or eagerly looking to learn and share the faith that you received in Christ Jesus? It is through actively being engaged in “training” that maturation comes. It is through actively teaching others about the Lord and utilizing the skill of recognizing the differences in right and wrong that are the marks of maturity.
Practice: The engine of Christ Church is the Holy Spirit’s work of “developing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.” Are you being developed or are you stuck at the same level of spiritual maturity that you have been for last 12 months, 12 years, or more? What step do you need to take to grow in both knowledge and practice in your faith? Write that step down and resolve to take action during this month.
