Word of the Week for May 18th

Life gives us various measuring points along the way. For several people the next few weeks hold some major points of accomplishment. Today in our services we will be recognizing children who are completing the first, second and third grades with Bibles. The hope is as the children learn to read they will make God’s Word part of their daily reading. We will also be recognizing our graduating high school seniors. What a special time in the lives of these students and their families. Once they receive their diplomas, they will be looked upon differently. They will have accomplished a major goal in life. We also have some college graduates. Way to go! You have gone a step further in your education.

As I think about these groups of people, I see a pattern that as believers we should seek to follow. The children have learned to read. The high school graduates have gone a step further, the college students even farther, and for one a Master’s degree! We should all be seeking to reach for THE MASTER in our daily walk with Him.

Congratulations, graduates! We are proud of you!
