Coaches are fond of saying, “Trust the process.” This means that even if the athlete can’t see the end, because they are so wrapped up with the pain of training at that moment, the coach knows what’s at the end. It is essential to trust the coach knows what is best. Even world-class athletes who can perform better than the coach ever could trust the coach to train and equip them to win. When you think about the process of your spiritual growth, do you trust the Holy Spirit to be the counselor, the coach, that guides you through a process of development so you can experience the joy of your faith? Paul, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was the author of a large portion of the New Testament, the playbook, if you will, for holy and righteous living by the grace of God. Trust the process outlined in God’s Word for growth. Flex your spiritual muscles by reading the Bible and praying.
Philippians 1:25: “Knowing this, I am convinced that I will remain alive so I can continue to help all of you grow and experience the joy of your faith.”
