How to Grow Up
“And John grew and became strong in spirit” Luke 1:80
“Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people."
Luke 2:52
Pastor’s Thoughts
Here’s a “growing up” checklist: Let God work it into your thinking and doing this weekend.
“strong in spirit” This is an inner quality of resiliency against things not of
God and strength to persevere in doing the things of God.
“wisdom” This is big picture wisdom, God’s long term wisdom vs. the
short term wisdom of expediency
“stature” In your better moments you know what this means. You know the
difference between worldly stature and a stature that comes
from a foundation of Godly character.
“favor with God” I just want to please God in each thing I do today.
“favor w/ people” People know I value them. People know they matter to me.
