27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. Colossians 1:27-28
How mature are you? Maturity is one of those things that one may have many levels of in their life. I may be a mature adult at work, but can be very immature at home. I can have a maturity level that helps me when I work with people less mature than I am and can help mentor them to a level that will help them work better with others. There may be people who are adults that may have the emotional maturity of a 9 year old, and I wonder how they can really be helped. When we look for maturity in Christ, the only way we can get to that point is to put Him at the forefront of our life. I honestly at times can be spiritually mature in Christ, but I also have those times that I am emotionally taxed with questions and concerns that impact my maturity. There are also times where my maturity drops because I don't have the Lord in the place He needs to be with me. We all can come up with excuses about our maturity but do we stop and ask God for the wisdom to become more mature? Let God provide the guidance we need to achieve a maturity level that can help us and others grow.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
