*SCRIPTURES CONCERNING STRETCHING (GROWING, LEARNING & DEVELOPING):

HOSEA 4:6 NIV - My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.

JOHN 15:16 NKJV - You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

COLOSSIANS 3:23-24 NIV - Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Side note: No matter what you do, you are using the gifts that the Lord gave you. If you put your talents to use, you are proving to God that you love him and worship him.)

2 CORINTHIANS 5:13 NIV - If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

MATTHEW 16:24-26 ESV - Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

SEEK GOD FIRST - MATTHEW 6:33 NIV Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

BE THE STUDENT - PROVERBS 2:2-5 NIV - turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

NEVER STOP LEARNING - PSALMS 5:3 NIV - In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

CONNECT WITH MORE EXPERIENCED / SEASONED CREATIVES & BELIEVERS - MATTHEW 10:24-25 NIV - Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master. Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master.

TRUST THE PROCESS - GALATIANS 6:9 KJV - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Side note: Although we may not immediately see the reward for our good doings, they will come. Do not give up! Perseverance is key.)

YOU WILL NE BLESSED FROM THE GROWTH - PSALM 128:2 KJV - You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. (Side note: God rewards those who work hard, and that can come in a variety of ways. But if you continue to put in a solid work ethic, you deserve whatever is outcome.)

DESTROYS LAZINESS / RE-IGNITES PASSION - ROMANS 12:11-13 NIV - Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. (Side note: Just as the Bible preaches, don't lose your energy. Find passion in your work and remain steadfast in your love for the Lord. Then, you will see success.)

BEING STRETCHED SETS A GODLY FOUNDATION & ESTABLISHES FAVOR - PSALMS 90:17 NIV - Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands! (Side note: Anything we set forth to do without God's initial blessing is meaningless. It's important to make sure whatever we do is in the eyes of the Lord, and therefore we ask for his blessing over our work.)

THE STRETCHING INVITES THE LORD THE GRACE TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE WITHIN YOU - 1 SAMUEL  30:8 NLT - I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (Side note: At the end of the day, God is on our side. We can do anything thanks to him. We just need to ask for his support.)

STRETCHING PRODUCES LEGACY - PROVERBS 16:3 NIV - Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. (Side note: Even if you're lost and don't know your way out through a difficult situation right now, give it all up to God. Make a promise with him that you will see it through the end, and he will lay a path down for you.)
