Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:9
Even though God wants us to live joyful, contented lives, He sometimes causes discontent, or a feeling that something isn’t right, because He does not want us to continue doing the same old things anymore.
He wants to prod us to seek Him so He can take us to new levels.
God always wants us to grow stronger, to go deeper, and to increase in intimacy with Him. Most of the time, He brings us into that process of maturity by leading us out of places where we’ve been comfortable in the past. Too much comfort for too long can mean that we’re not growing.
If you feel something stirring in your heart but it doesn’t fully make sense, just ask God what’s happening, wait for Him to speak, and He will come through with the answer you need.
Our time with Jesus is vitally important to our growth and maturity, but we can’t do the same things all the time and experience all that He has for us.
I’ve had times when reading the Bible became laborious and God led me to read a different translation for a few months. That small change brought so much new growth because I saw things in a different way.
