Did You Grow?

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

It doesn’t shock me to have heard this all week: “Good riddance to 2020.” It has been a weird year. It’s been a year like I’ve never seen in my lifetime. However, one thing it didn’t do was that it didn’t catch God by surprise. God knew exactly what 2020 would bring each of us. We live in a world that is always running 100 mph. One thing 2020 did was that it seemed to force everyone to slow down at some point. We can just think of the time that we were forced to stay away from church for a short while. While each person faced different circumstances to this, hopefully it caused us all to examine our relationship with Christ and grow closer to Him. Most all of us were forced to spend a little more time at home than we usually do. How did you spend that time? Did you use it to grow closer to Christ? Are you closer to God now than you was at the start of 2020? If yes, then continue to seek Him and continue that growth as His coming grows closer and closer. If no, then what are you waiting for? 2020 has showed us just how close this world is to the end. Don’t waste another moment not looking towards Christ.

God bless you today! Happy New Year to all of you! Bro. Josh Richardson
