SPIRITUAL SELF-AWARENESS: KNOW YOUR GROWTH EDGES

SPIRITUAL SELF-AWARENESS: KNOW YOUR GROWTH EDGES

God’s Word admonishes us to prayerfully examine ourselves and our works. (I Corinthians 11:28 – Galatians 6:4)  Spiritual self-awareness is mission critical to sustaining a covenant relationship with Christ, actualizing the divine will and consistently overcoming temptation.  It’s all about being thoroughly conscious of our growth edges and conscientiously attending to them.

Remember: Things that tempt me might never appeal to you.  Those things that draw you might never capture my attention.  So we must both know ourselves and be completely honest with ourselves.

One “Discipleship Journal” survey reported and ranked areas of greatest spiritual challenge:

 

1. Materialism

2. Pride

3. Self-centeredness

4. Laziness

5. Anger/Bitterness

6. Sexual lust

7. Envy

8. Gluttony

9. Lying

My friend, know what ‘floats your boat’ (so to speak), and be watchful whenever it shows up on your spiritual radar.  In the words of Jesus Christ, “watch and pray , lest you enter into temptation.” (Matthew 26:41)

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
