Grow!

Love the Lord your God. Walk in all his ways... ~ Joshua 22:5 (CEB)

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. ~ Philippians 1:9-10 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
When we actually love the Lord we will be growing in godliness.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for the way that you love us. Even though I'm grateful, I don't make godliness I high priority in my life. I'm happy to just cruise along with the way things are. I need your intervention so that I can grow in love and understanding -- living a pure and blameless life -- all in preparation for the day when Christ returns and the ways of his kingdom will be the norm. Amen.
