Change and Maturity
As you embrace God's Word through a kingdom mindset, you will notice that the Word of the King will take on a new meaning. Your clarity of the scriptures will become clear of what God's purpose is for your life. Through change you will become more mature and secure in who you are. change causes you to grow to the level of maturity in God's Word as you read and study it. Remember what the disciples went through as they were changing while Christ was here on earth. The disciples became alarmed when the storm came. Yet Jesus was cool, calm and collected. They panicked. His faith remained steadfast.
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
Maturity isn't ignoring danger but rather interpreting it through a kingdom mindset so that it becomes a benefit to you rather than a burden. Change then becomes a source of courage rather than a discomfort. In this instance, the power of God was shown to bring peace in the midst of a natural danger that could never have been addressed without help from the King.
Remember, reading, studying and obeying God's Word brings maturity.
Mark 4:35-41
