Spiritual Formation - Having a Personal Spiritual Growth Plan
If we were going on a hike, we would begin by planning for the hike. Our spiritual walk should be no different. We can not go on the adventure cold and unprepared in any way. In our spiritual journey, we should have a plan to learn, grow, and then be able to pass that knowledge that we have learned on to others.
If we do not learn the commands of God then we can not keep them in our hearts. To bind our love and faithfulness around our neck, we need to be willing to put on the yoke of obedience and walk step in step with Christ. We need to learn from Christ, we need to mirror Christ in what He does, thinks, and says. We need to bind His love and faithfulness around our necks.
You need to ask God what you are to learn and begin a growth plan. God will challenge you! But God does this because He loves you. If we are growing in Christ daily, then we will always have spiritual food for others. We will have a depth of knowledge and understanding to give to others. Creating a spiritual growth plan for your life will produce in you a fruit that is reflective of God in your life.
