Jesus grew four different ways:
Luke 2:52 - "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men."

1. Set a goal for intellectual growth. (Proverbs 19:8, 27)
2. Set a goal for physical growth. (Proverbs 17:22; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
3. Set a goal for personal relationships. (Philippians 1:9, Romans 12:13, John 3:14)
4. Set a goal for spiritual growth. (2 Peter 3:18)

Why do we do this?
Ephesians 5:15-17 (NLT) "So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do."
