The Way To Become Mature

The way to become mature in our recovery and in life in general is through prayer and meditation on the Bible. We need to daily seek conscious contact with God, praying for knowledge of His will for our lives and the power to carry it out.  As we read the Scriptures, we become knowledgeable of God's character and, by obeying His principles, we learn how to live life to the full.   Being able to quote the Scriptures is good, but it does not bring maturity.  Maturity comes from obeying what the Scriptures say. 

The philosophy and mentality of this world is vastly different from what God says in His Word. We know the trouble and heartache our chaotic lifestyle brought us, but now we are learning a more excellent way.  We were once foolish, disobedient, hateful towards others, and sought pleasure in whatever our immoral minds desired. We were like immature children seeking every candy in the store.  Now our life is being impacted by the love of God for us and we are learning to love others as ourselves

As we follow the ways of God and faithfully obey His principles, we will become the mature person that God created us to be.  We know that God has a plan for us that will prosper us and give us hope and a future, and we know that if we seek Him in all our ways, His plan will succeed.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I want to be mature in my faith in You and in my knowledge of Your ways.  Help me to be victorious in my battle with the evil one.  Amen
