Our reading for the week is entitled “Growing in Grace-The Practice of Faith Development.” It is important to focus on and explore specific words. Some just seem to jump out. They all involve action and effort. Growing, Grace, Practice, Intentional, Development, Faith. Faith results from Practice (habits, rituals
and disciplines) all of which are intentional, planned, practiced so that they develop and become embodied in our way of living. All of these provide the growth, change and spiritual maturity that we need to live in a demanding of often destructive environment. Faith development requires the same process as mastering a sport, an occupation, relationship, or hobby. That is our input, our effort. I did not forget the word Grace. It is the foundation of it all- the presence of God who moves in us to form us into the godly person we have been created to be.
