Thought for the Week from AMUA
Sunday 7th February 2021 - Spiritual Growth
Lord Jesus, think on me, nor let me go astray;
through darkness and perplexity / point to (thou) the heavenly way.
TiS 546; AHB 122; NEH 70
Spiritual growth is quite amazingly like any other growth: stealthy, not subject to observation, doesn’t respond to command or regulation. It is decidedly contrary: for example, if you were to say, “I’ve taken three steps towards the heavenly way over the past month”, you could be in dire danger of being led astray by your own self-assessment and of then proceeding down a very sticky path indeed.
… so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10
Mothers Union members gather in prayer when in darkness and perplexity so that spiritual growth is Christ centred and free of worldly assessment.
