New to Faith Sample

It’s workout time!

CONGRATULATIONS on spending 7 days in this devotional - what a huge achievement!  Day by day, your faith is growing stronger!

Have you ever been to the gym? If you have, you would know that the process of seeing results doesn’t happen overnight. You often don’t see the results after the first session, week or at times even after the first month. But as your consistency continues and you keep rocking up day - in day out, there will be a moment you begin to notice the change, you’ll feel different, and will finally see some tangible results.

The process of seeing physical change at the gym is a lot like the process of seeing a spiritual change in your life. The Bible calls this process of spiritual change, ‘sanctification’[2 Cor 3:18]. Sanctification is a journey that we'd prefer to happen immediately but, more often it’s something that happens gradually through consistent pursuit of God [1 Cor 15:58]. 

If we could encourage you with one practical step, it would be to consistently spend time with God each day. The change might not be obvious at first, but over time you will notice a transformation in your life. So how can you spend time with God? We'd recommend reading the Bible (what you're doing through this plan!), praying and listening to some great worship music. 

PRAYER

Jesus, thank You that You want to transform me and help me to become more like You. I pray that You would help me to stay consistent in my relationship with You, and to trust that even when I can’t see the changes straight away, I am still growing in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
