Gospel Growth

TODAY’S READING: Matthew 6:5-13, Luke 18:1-8

DEVOTIONAL: “CONTINUAL GOSPEL GROWTH”
by Erin Bird

Congrats! You made it! Thank you SO much for going on this spiritual journey with us.

However, even though the 21 Days have come to an end, I hope your times of prayer and in the Word will not end. I hope you’ve developed or deepened a pattern of spending time each day with your God who knows you, loves you, is for you, and wants to work through you.

So don’t stop praying for Gospel Growth in you, in Riverwood, and around us locally and globally. Keep pursuing the heart of God. Keep seeking to know more of the gospel so you might grow through the gospel. Ask God to fill you with wonder and awe because of His character revealed in the gospel. Stay connected with fellow Jesus-followers who will encourage you to keep growing. (Get in a Growth Group if you aren’t in one.)

But don’t end these 21 Days with “that was nice,” and then head into your own schedule. Make time with God a priority here in 2023. This could be one of the most significant years of your life as well as for Riverwood. So keep seeking Gospel Growth!

PRAYER:
Almighty Father, thank you for giving me the opportunity to pursue you through prayer and fasting these past 21 days. However, even though this spiritual journey has now come to an end, please continue to grow me. Help me continue to talk with you so I may more closely walk with you.

I love you Lord! Thank you so much for Jesus, for spiritual life in Him, for my Riverwood family, for Your heart for people, and for giving me access to you through the cross and resurrection of Christ.
And it’s in Your name I pray, Amen!
