Got up feeling so tired this morning, so I searched for a WFW to repost..... this one encouraged me. I pray it encourages you as well! And, please hop over to Susan's for more encouragement!
"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ." -Ephesians 4:15-16
This week I have been thinking about a quote from Kay Arthur. I challenged my bible study with this passage and I will share it with you.
Beloved, we live with so much noise and busyness that we often don't take enough time to be quiet and think about truth, life, where we are headed, where we want to go , and what we want to accomplish. Consequently we move randomly and purposelessly through life. Pretty soon the years have passed, and we're no different. We've grown older but not wiser- we haven't matured into the stature of the fullness of Christ. We look at others and feel light years behind- all because we didn't BASK in the light of His Word. As you study the Bible, allow time to absorb truth- to think about how it can instruct you, encourage you, and give you wisdom, understanding, counsel, and hope.
Lord, how I want to grow and mature in You! I want to have a passion for You. I don't want to wake up next year and be the same...I want to be changed by You...
Please visit Susan at Forever His for more Word- Filled Wednesday!
