ALWAYS ROOM TO GROW

Proverbs 4:7(NKJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your gettting, get understanding.

My grand daughter was helping me to do stuff on my computer and she was a big help, but as she was showing me what to do I just didn’t ’get it’! The penny was not dropping! After a while I realised I didn’t have to understand it, I just had to do it. It was a bit like “How to train your Grandma!”😊

Similarly, we won’t always understand everything that’s happening in our lives, and God knows we won’t understand everything all at once in the Bible either. We just have to trust God with it all and let Him work things out as He knows best while our part is to just do whatever He tells us to do and remain faithful and open to His leading.

Scripture does tell us in several places to ask God for understanding because it is so important and He really wants us to have it, but when we don’t ‘get it’ straight away we know the Holy Spirit is there to help us to steadily grow in spiritual understanding, no matter how far along the road we may or may not be!😊

In the meantime can I encourage us all to keep going, to not give up on our spiritual growth. We all have room to grow, whether it’s in understanding, or loving people or being patient or whatever, but if we keep seeking God for His spiritual insights, they will surely come in time.

When we plant an acorn we don’t expect a huge oak tree in the next three weeks! We know it has to have room to grow and time to grow, so why do we expect our growth to be any different? Anything worth growing is worth waiting for.😊 You never know, I might just learn to understand why my computer and my mobile phone do the things they do along the way as well!🤣
