Growing in Godliness

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Psalms 1:3 NIV


The culture we live in places great emphasis on outwards things - beauty, money and power. However, the Word of God tells us of another focus we should have...

|PIC1|Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,
(1 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV)

Godliness. Growing in Godliness...

"devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching" (1 Timothy 4:13 NIV)

Making it shape your life...

"like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither." (Psalm 1:3 NIV)

...and producing fruit in season.

...A fruit of love. To be loved, and learning to love...

To grow in godliness and the love of God. Let us meditate on this today.
