Encourage Growth
"Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ."—Colossians 1:28
Today is not a day for mediocrity. Today is a day given to you by God to live out his mission. And the way you do this is by getting up earlier, reading biblical truth, removing distractions, destroying habits, and engaging disciplines that support this mission. Most Christians today will settle for mediocrity by trusting in a saving relationship with Christ without every consciously developing a "maturing relationship in Christ." If Christ saves us, we must proclaim him and have a disposition for growth, wisdom, and "maturity" because we are not average. And as we battle mediocrity, we too should "warn everyone" that mediocrity is not the goal.
DO THIS: Do one thing to mature in Christ and one thing to spur someone else on to maturity.
PRAYER: God, remove distractions and my indifference that results in mediocrity.
