THE SECRET OF HEALTHY SPIRITUAL GROWTH

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Sunday 3rd September 2017

TOPIC:  THE SECRET OF HEALTHY SPIRITUAL GROWTH

TEXT: Text: " …And the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how" (Mark 4:27).

Physical growth is hard to detect. Growing from childhood into adulthood isn’t something you observe in the mirror.

 Healthy growth is so gradual you don’t notice it. Rather than actually observing the growth process, you simply live out the results of growth. The results of growth are seen when perhaps you are given more responsibility, buy different sized clothes, or know a little bit more than last year.

Spiritual growth is the same. Many times, we don’t see ourselves growing in the Lord. In the parable of the farmer in Mark 4:27, he plants seed but doesn’t actually observe the growth process. He doesn’t know how it grows; it just happens. All he knows is that one day he is enjoying the crop that came from that growth process. Like the farmer, if you have planted the right “seed” you will experience a good crop. By putting God’s Word in your heart and staying close to the Lord, you don’t know how it happens, you just grow! Eventually, you see the results of that growth because people will begin to notice the fruit growing on the tree of your life. While you may not see it, you are growing and have probably come much further than you realize. So keep feeding on His word and in no distant future from now, your lifestyle will reflect your spiritual diet style.
