24-FEBRUARY-2025 - DEVELOPING A GROWTH MINDSET
THE MAIN THEME: PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
TITLE: DEVELOPING A GROWTH MINDSET
The quote for today’s devotional is: "Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still."
- Chinese Proverb
Devotional
Growth doesn’t always happen quickly, and that’s okay. The Chinese proverb reminds us that slow progress is still progress, but standing still—refusing to move forward—is what we should fear. Similarly, Proverbs 4:18 paints a picture of steady growth, comparing the journey of the righteous to the gradual brightening of the morning sun.
In life, it’s tempting to feel discouraged when progress seems slow. But God values persistence and faithfulness, not speed. Each small step you take toward becoming the person He created you to be is significant. Trust the process, knowing that God is guiding your journey, no matter how long it takes.
Practical Steps to Embrace Growth
Celebrate small victories as signs of progress; be patient with yourself; keep moving forward; trust God’s timing; and remember, your journey is unique; don’t measure your progress against others.
Here are a few reflective questions :
- What is one area of your life where you feel like progress is slow? How can you trust God in that process?
- What small steps can you take today to move forward, even if they feel insignificant?
Let us pray
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that growth takes time. Help me to trust Your process and to keep moving forward, even when progress feels slow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them.
- "I am growing at my own pace, and that’s okay.
- Each step I take brings me closer to who God wants me to be."
Keep growing, and I'll see you tomorrow.
