Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming ...

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming ...
... Instead, speaking the truth and love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Ephesians 4:14-15

Infants are egotistical. That's funny to say, because it's true. Infants think they know better, but what they know is based on absolutely nothing... no experience, no life's wisdom, nothing solid or real.

But aren't we the same sometimes? We believe and blurt out certain perspectives that are based on absolutely nothing other than our feelings or someone else's opinion that resonates with us and our desired way of thinking.

As a result, without something solid to ground us, we are tossed around in the wind like an empty plastic bag. This is the world we live in, and we are not immune.

But we are called to ignore all of that, and to keep our eye on the ROCK that never changes, that is never blown around in the wind, that never ebbs or flows with changing cultural tides.

We may begin as an infant Christians, but we are called to grow in Christ. And this growth process will take our entire lives.

So be patient.
Trust in the Truth.
SPEAK that Truth.
And keep growing little by little, day by day with your eye on the Rock (no, not Dwayne Johnson).

God bless.
