Today’s Thought “Lil Johnny Is on the Honor Roll!” G. Ward

Hebrews 5:12

“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.”

Higher education is a must for most American households. It grants opportunity to not be deemed “regular” in economic forecast. The insistence from parents unto their children’s grades as best, creates environment for acceptance in the better universities. What if these parameters presented our young people more concentrated on their spiritual character than educational prowess (cf. Ps.37:5)? Those lacking correct prioritization question whether there could be both/and?  I authoritatively refer them to Exhibit Deuteronomy 6:5-7. When Holy God through Christ is made King, excellence follows. Loving Lil Johnny won’t desire his testimony similar to some of ours that boasts of being raised in the church while experiencing a life of perplexity and unrest. Love veils the hardship of self construction that ruins through admittance that the day given has become the opportunity to surrender to the All-Wise Savior who desires to redeem the soul of man so he may gain rest.
