Today I was reminded how important the past is to each of us. We live in a day and time when everything is done in a new and better way, and I won’t lie—I like it that way. To be able to heat up food in a matter of moments compared to several minutes, to be able to set up a Christmas tree in four sections with lights and decorations already attached compared to the old-fashioned way of picking out a tree, cutting it to fit a stand, and then decorating it. Or even making biscuits…dinner tonight reminded me that the old-fashioned way took several minutes, but tonight I just have to pop open a container and eight biscuits are ready to go into the oven.
As much as I enjoy the easy, convenient way of life that I have today, I have to remind myself that today’s method of making life easier can never apply to my spiritual life. Even though salvation is instantaneous, my spiritual development can only happen with a slow, steady understanding of what I must do to create the optimal situation for growth. What things do you need to integrate into your life to create the perfect scenario to grow spiritually? Don’t let yourself be deceived into thinking that you can’t grow because every one of us can!
