Spiritual Nourishment

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

Spiritual growth is like physical growth—you start small and grow one day at a time. As you grow, you need more nourishment. You get physical nourishment by eating healthy foods, and you receive spiritual nourishment by challenging your mind in the study of God’s Word, asking questions about it, and seeking answers through prayer and the counsel and experience of other believers. Look at each day as a stepping-stone, and before you know it, you’ll be on your way to spiritual maturity and a thankful heart.
