Expect slow growth
Friday, January 9, 2026
Don’t expect that as a Christian that you’re going to become full grown overnight. Now God adopts you into the family as a full-grown son, where you’re able to understand divine truth because the Holy Spirit is your teacher. But your growth and my growth is slow. We may learn truths in the Bible, but we will find that in our lives that you and I go through very much like Simon Peter, stumbling here and falling down there. Thank God, Simon Peter kept getting up and brushing himself off, and there came the day when he had a very close walk with the Lord. But you and I need to recognize that in our own life, the growth is slow.
