God Rears Up His People to Grow to Their Maturity ㅡ
“For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,” (Psalm 95:7)
The germination of the seed represents the beginning of spiritual life, and the development of the plant is a beautiful figure of Christian growth.
As its growth is silent and imperceptible, but continuous, so is the development of the Christian life.
At every stage of development our life may be perfect; yet if God’s purpose for us is fulfilled, there will be continual advancement.
Sanctification is the work of a lifetime. As our opportunities multiply, our experience will enlarge, and our knowledge increase.
We shall become strong to bear responsibility, and our maturity will be in proportion to our privileges.
The plant grows by receiving that which God has provided to sustain its life.
So the Christian is to grow by co-operating with the divine agencies.
Feeling our helplessness, we are to improve all the opportunities granted us to gain a fuller experience.
As the plant takes root in the soil, so we are to take deep root in Christ. As the plant receives the sunshine, the dew, and the rain, we are to open our hearts to the Holy Spirit.
The work is to be done “not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6.
If we keep our minds stayed upon Christ, He will come unto us “as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” Hosea 6:3.
As the Sun of Righteousness, He will arise upon us “with healing in His wings.” Malachi 4:2.
We shall “grow as the lily.” We shall “revive as the corn, and grow as the vine.” Hosea 14:5, 7.
By constantly relying upon Christ as our personal Saviour, we shall grow up into Him in all things who is our head.
(Christ’s Object Lessons 65.2-66.1)
