“Healthy things grow, and growing things change, and changing things change things.“
~ Christine Caine, author, Twitter, July 25, 2019

⁶ So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, ⁷ rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7

GOD LOVES GROWING THINGS!

Who or what am I becoming? Where am I going? The goal of my life is to live for the Glory of God alone, not for personal success. I cultivate the soil, faithfully plant, and faithfully water. It is God who causes the growth.

• Healthy things grow.
• Growth leads to change.
• Change leads to challenge.
• Challenge leads to trusting God.
• Trusting God leads to obedience.
• Obedience leads to healthy faith.
• Health lets us grow.

This is the list I heard this morning in a sermon by Tom Vander Well (tomvanderwell.com), and I want to explore it with you in the next couple of weeks.

Blessed is the one …
     whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—

Psalm 1 :2-3
