Good Morning!
An arborist is a scientist who studies trees and other woody
plants, usually individual specimens. A forester is a scientist
who studies large swaths of woody plants like a forest. The
domain of foresters and arborists overlaps at times in the
pursuit of health of both trees and forests.
The Christian life is made up of two similar domains
individual days and life as a whole. Unfortunately, we get so
caught up in the pressures of each day that we sometimes
fail to step back and look at our spiritual life as a whole.
Questions need to be asked: Since coming to know Christ,
how have I grown spiritually and emotionally? Talked about
"pressing on" toward Christ in my own life, and read in 1
Timothy 4:15 about making spiritual "progress" in your life.
Are you a spiritual arborist or forester? Are you focusing
more on the trees or the forest? There are no shortcuts to
spiritual maturity. It takes time to be holy.
