Childish Ways?
Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who desire to give up childish ways. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Know someone with an adult child who doesn’t work? Has their playing video games prevented them from maturing into productive member of society?
Today, our culture accepts “extended adolescence.” When do people grow up? Financial independence and living independently are two criteria.
But there is more to it, according to Apostle Paul who writes in 1 Corinthians 13:11 (ESV):
“When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.”
Examine three areas: speech, thoughts, and reasoning. God can equip those interested in spiritual maturity. Are you still holding onto some childish ways of communicating, thinking, or reasoning? Stop. Read Scripture to learn about what it means to grow into a mature believer.
