Sunday Focus: Grow Up, Rise Up

Spiritual maturity is not measured by how much you know — it’s measured by how quickly you respond to what God shows you. This is where purpose deepens. This is where transformation stabilizes. This is where a man stops “trying to grow” and starts living grown.

Live on Purpose

Hebrews 5:14 says, “Strong meat belongs to those who are mature…” — meaning the deeper things of God are available to the man who is willing to be stretched, challenged, corrected, and developed. God is maturing you not to restrict you, but to prepare you for the future He has already assigned.

Maturity shows itself when a man:

• chooses responsibility over excuses,

• chooses obedience over feelings,

• chooses prayer over impulse,

• and chooses purpose over preference.

This week, God is developing one specific area of your character — maybe discipline, maybe focus, maybe peace, maybe integrity. Don’t resist it. Lean into it. Agree with it.

When you cooperate with God’s maturing process, you rise higher, think clearer, and move with greater confidence. Maturity is not punishment — it’s promotion.

Let this new week be the first step into the man you’re becoming… not the man you used to be.
