Suppose I just sit on my couch and never exercise (hypothetically, of course...)? Will I grow stronger?
Of course not.
In a similar way, I can't approach my spiritual health with a passive mindset. No, I cannot please God or make myself holier by my own efforts; nor is He looking for my life to be marked by frantic activity. But faith can be compared to a muscle that grows stronger with stretching and exercise.
Last semester the Lord showed me areas where I needed to more intentional...being in the Word consistently and regularly seeking out feedback and encouragement from other ladies who have walked with Him longer.
Perhaps it seems like a no-brainer, but these things make such a difference.
Starting off this morning with a cup of coffee and a dear coworker encouraged me so much - being reminded of truth, getting advice, and praying together - and made me want more. More stretching. More growth.
Will you pray with me for this?
