Growing Up In Spirit

Growing Up in Spirit
A devotion By Jason Ling


Bible Verse:
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen."
— 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)

Reflection:
Summer often reminds us of growth—gardens flourish, days stretch longer, and life seems to slow down just enough to take a deep breath. In the same way nature matures, God calls us to grow spiritually, not just in age or experience, but in grace and knowledge.

Spiritual growth isn’t always about doing more—it's about becoming more like Christ. It's found in quiet prayer, in moments of worship, and in how we love others during both restful and busy seasons. Even the warmth of summer can be a time to renew our desire to know God more deeply.

Consider:
Are you growing in grace, becoming more patient, kind, and humble?
Are you growing in knowledge, spending time in God’s Word and learning more about His character?

Prayer:
Lord, help me grow this summer—not just outwardly, but inwardly. Let my heart deepen in love for You, and my life reflect Your grace. Teach me more of who You are, and who You are shaping me to be. Amen.
