Shalom,

We read Luke 2 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan today and I LOVE it all, but the last two verses contain a key that will guarantee our own supernatural growth in the things of GOD!

51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth and was [habitually] obedient to them; and his mother kept and closely and persistently guarded all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and in stature and years, and in favor with God and man.

How will this help us? "GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE"! If we desire to increase in wisdom and stature and years, and in favor with GOD and man, then we MUST obey our FATHER and HIS WORD and then spend time in HIS presence through prayer, praise and worship, study and meditation in the Word of God and in close intimate fellowship with HIM by the Spirit of God Who lives IN US! Refuse to let ANYTHING hold you back from all that GOD, in His great LOVE, has provided for us! Here is Hillsong with "Song For His Presence":

Shalom in Him!
