Today’s devotional is titled:
Having the Courage to Look at Personal Growth

2 Peter 3:18
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

Hi, Rehobot Youth! Getting older doesn’t always mean we are maturing spiritually. We might have known the Lord for a long time, attended services faithfully, or possessed extensive knowledge of the Bible. However, true growth is also evident in how our lives change. How we respond to problems, failures, criticism, success, or people who disappoint us can reveal the extent of our growth.

God’s Word reminds us to keep growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we need to learn to practice honest introspection. Try looking back at our life’s journey: are we more patient now than before? Are we better at controlling our emotions? Do we find it easier to forgive, are we more responsible, and do we rely more on God when facing difficulties? Questions like these help us see our growth more tangibly.

Rehobot Youth, introspection isn’t just about looking for flaws or comparing ourselves to others. We need to view ourselves through the truth of God’s Word. Honestly acknowledge the areas where growth has occurred, but do not hide the parts that still need improvement. Even a poor response to a situation can be an opportunity to realize that there are still aspects of ourselves that need to be shaped by God.

So, Rehobot Youth, make it a habit to examine your journey with God. Don’t just ask, “What have I achieved?” but also ask, “What kind of person am I becoming?” Spiritual growth is evident when, day by day, our way of thinking, behaving, and responding to life increasingly reflects the character of Christ.

What To Do?
1. Open your heart to be continually shaped by God through every process.
2. Pay attention to the growth in your attitude and responses.
3. Recognize areas that still need improvement and keep growing.
