April 18, 2022
Flourishing. We’re hearing this word frequently these days. It’s meaning is, developing rapidly and successfully, thriving. What strategies help you flourish? World’s answers: be yourself, imagine your best possible self.
Biblical strategies for flourishing. Colossians 2:19 We are nourished acknowledging Christ as our head. We grow in God with gratitude, knowing our worth is in Him. We cannot experience our true worth looking inward. Self can be, and often is scary, and self focused.
The worlds definition is feeling positive emotions and feeling good, a warm fuzzy thing. That doesn’t cut it in stressful, hard seasons. In God we are blessed with contentment as we grow spiritually, having a servant’s heart. Biblical truth is our foundation. Knowing we are created by Him is our root system. That’s flourishing for sure.
