Reading today’s entry, I was pondering the idea that we are responsible for our own growth. I was reminded of this passage in Hebrews:
You have been Christians a long time now, and you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things a beginner must learn about the Scriptures.
You are like babies who drink only milk and cannot eat solid food. And a person who is living on milk isn’t very far along in the Christian life and doesn’t know much about doing what is right.
Solid food is for those who are mature, who have trained themselves to recognize the difference between right and wrong and then do what is right. Hebrews 5:12-14
The way to becoming spiritually mature is pretty simple: I need to train myself to know right from wrong, and then do what’s right. The ingredients that make it happen are discipline and motivation. And thankfully, the Holy Spirit gives me an extra push once I get going in the right direction.
Find what’s right, and then do it – that’s my focus for today.
