The following is an excerpt from Chapter 5, "The Word," in the study "Grow Up."
We can choose the world or the Word to help us grow. Each one helps to develop
our approach to the world and our view. The Word will be the nourishment we need to
grow spiritually. Otherwise, we will be spiritually anemic. The Word will help us know
the One who created us. We need to learn how to approach it, take it in, and digest
whatever we have attained. Remember to dive into the deep truths God has provided to
us through His Word and His Spirit. Allow them to be mixed and be immersed in them
so they become a part of us. This happens when we obey the Word we have attained.
We need to read the Word and hear it. We need to chew on it and digest it. We
will see it change us and grow us up. Once we have focused on the Word of God and it
has grown our faith in Him, we need to begin to pray it to Him. As part of our time with
God, we will come to Him, and He will begin to teach us how to prepare for the battles
ahead. In the next week, we will begin to see how God will prepare us for our days.
