Spiritual Growth
Psalm 1:1–3 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
Romans 12:1–2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Reflect
- Read Galatians 5:16-26. Where do you most need improvement?
- What sins hinder you from being more useful and fruitful to God?
- Are there any areas in which you are entangled that you need the guidance of a pastor, counselor, or other mature Christian?
- Ask God for help, knowing apart from him, you can do nothing.
