Growing Daily

Psalm 126:6---He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.

Our life can get so full of daily activities we forget we are supposed to grow, mature, and develop each day. As we get older, we often look forward to “retirement”. For many people, retirement from a career or a life pursuit means forgetting entirely about growing and getting better each day. God’s will is for you to grow each day. God will always smile upon those people who seek to grow in His wisdom, love, and grace. Too often, we think just surviving on a daily basis counts as a period of growth. However, if we do not intend to grow and get better we can stagnate. If we do not take active steps to grow and get better each day, we can remain in this stagnating state until we die. Every day you can grow in God’s wisdom, love, and grace. Every day you can read, pursue, inquire, ask, seek, knock, question, investigate, learn, add new skills, communicate more, pray more, and meditate more. Age must never be an excuse for not growing. Age must never be a barrier to growth. The mind is a terrible thing to waste at any age. God is not glorified when we refuse to use our gift of thought to grow. God is glorified when we choose to plan, reason, and think ahead in His name and for His work each day.
