Tuesday Writing by Sandy Billingham.......5/15/17

Good Morning,

Sandy Billingham authored today's writing which she titled, "Growing In Christ."  Sandy compared the life cycle changes of a tadpole as it becomes and adult frog to the fact that new Christians need to study and grow in the Lord. Sandy wrote, "Of course we do not croak nor leap lily pads, but  as  we grow we are able to understand who we are in Christ Jesus. We also  gain much wisdom in Christ in leaps and in bounds! We become strong, mature Christians!  I know that  is quite a contrast but there are  some  similarities if  you use  your imagination!"  

So our lesson for the day is to seek the cycle of Christian growth into maturity is a work in progress much as the tadpole's as it becomes a frog.

God bless
Sandy and Corinne

Today's Devotional
"Growing In Christ"


Today I walked at one of my most favorite places. It was a gorgeous day as I sauntered along and enjoyed every moment. One area  on the walk  has a bridge you cross  over and under that bridge is a small body of water. I stopped at the middle of  the  bridge  to see if I  could spot  any living things in the water. Much to my surprise I saw some  very developed  tadpoles. I could see  the legs quite clearly and the core of their bodies were quite wide. It was just a matter of time before  they would  be frogs. 


As I thought about what I would do my devotional on, the tadpoles  popped  into my mind. Isn't that  how it is in our Christian walk. When we first give our life to Jesus, we become baby Christians. We need lots of good nourishment from God's Word as well as encouragement and lots of prayer to grow. That is similar to the tadpole. He is very young and tiny at first.  He needs  just  the right nourishment  and care to grow. As  that all transpires he soon becomes a big, strong frog able to leap lily pads and croak all night long.


 Of course we do not croak nor leap lily pads, but  as  we grow we are able to understand who we are in Christ Jesus. We also  gain much wisdom in Christ in leaps and in bounds! We become strong, mature Christians!  I know that  is quite a contrast but there are  some  similarities if  you use  your imagination!

 God's Word says:  
"We are not meant to remain as children  

but to grow up in every way into Christ."
 Ephesians 4:14-15
(Phillips)


Just as  those tadpoles are not meant to stay tadpoles, we  too are not meant to remain as children in our walk. All  those trillions of tadpoles  swimming in the waters  all  over  this world are soon to be big, strong frogs. We too as we grow  in Jesus, we will soon be Powerful, Courageous, Believers able to walk in much Victory and have a solid  foundation in the Lord. 
May we each continue to grow and develop in Christ to be all He has called us to be as we live out our days on this earth.

 Growing in Him Daily, 
Sandy Billingham
