Today makes the last day in my 31 Day Series: Growing in Godliness. For those of you that have kept up with it, I pray that you have been encouraged and challenged.
Growing in godliness often gets over looked, but scripture points out its significance. God is clear in His word that once we've given our lives to Him, we must be disciplined to die to ourselves and grow in our knowledge and understanding of Him.
This is Paul’s point when he says,
"Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness." 1 Timothy 4:7
Growing in Him is life's greatest pursuit and though we will never arrive spiritually, this side of heaven, we are strengthened, refined, and sharpened as we become more disciplined.

Today is a special day: REFORMATION DAY! I'll leave you with Martin Luther's wonderful words in his hymn, A Mighty Fortress!
