Graduation....Oh The Places You’ll Go!

“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”Luke 12:35-40

It is that time of year again the pomp and circumstance melody playing as it ushers in high school and college graduates with eager and joyful parents and relatives ready to celebrate years of accomplishment. 

There is an even bigger graduation ceremony than the ones here on earth being held and that is graduating into the heavenly kingdom if you prepared ahead of time for your grand entrance and hopefully you have. 

So much stock seems to be put on earthly endeavors, accomplishments, and awards when in fact what you need to remember is to impact your world for Christ because  your life is like a vapor. Loving Jesus is pretty important and I hope you do. I hope he is more important to you than life itself. People do need the Lord whether they think so or not so keep lifting up those you are close to to be spiritually awakened. 

PRAYER: Father I thank you for the ultimate graduation day that awaits me someday. I don’t know when that will be but Lord help me always be watchful and thankful. I lift up those I love who don’t think they have a need to fellowship with Christians and think they can do life without you. Awaken them to hear your voice and follow you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
