When I was growing up in Sunday School we use to sing a song
Read your Bible, Pray everyday,
Pray everyday, pray everyday.
Read your Bible, pray everyday
And you'll grow, grow, grow.
Now there is truth in that song but I believe it gets things backward. Like physical growth we grow because we are humans and it is in our nature but in order to grow we must eat, drink and exercise. In reality it is the food and drink that are the fuel to make us grow but we grow because of our nature.
It is the same in the spiritual. We have a spiritual nature that has all we need to grow but we also need to be fed. This is where Bible reading and prayer come in to the picture. All the Bible reading and prayer will not make a non-Christian grow as it is not in their nature.
Let us read our Bibles and pray everyday so that we can fulfill what we are meant to be.
