From a president to a pauper the Lord made us for worship. Let us follow the lead of President Bush and worship the Lord with all of our heart, soul and mind.
As we celebrate let us remember it is not the length of days that will be judged by. But rather it the quality of our lives as we remember the command of Proverbs 3:1-2 for us to never forget the things we were taught about the Lord.
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We are called to live out our faith in a bold, discipline manner which is pleasing to God.
Faith
This week my thoughts centered on graduation. From preschool to postgraduate, I have always loved Graduation Ceremonies. In some quarters, these events are called Commencement Exercises. I think both names are appropriate because as Jesus said in Revelation 22:13, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
As we finish this Holy Week, let us remember that Jesus died on the cross so that God’s temple of creation (humans) can rise. The Lord sees each of us as a temple – a temple that must rise!
