A
MESSAGE FOR GRADUATES!
Josh
3:4-5
4
Yet
there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by
measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go:
for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5
And
Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord
will do wonders among you.
A
nation waited at the brink of a river that was swollen by floods. Certainly
Joshua couldn’t expect them to swim across or to build enough boats for their
families. So here is what Joshua told them.
Follow
God!
He told them to follow after the Ark which represented the presence of God
among them. Don’t follow too close and don’t lag too far behind. God is
leading! Be sure you position yourself as an observant follower.
You
haven’t been this way before! All the things you have done before
have made you ready for this moment but understand that it is a new day.
Marvelous things await you along with many challenges. You will have to make
adult decisions very soon and the decisions you make will have a lasting impact
on you and all around you. Proceed with caution and prayer.
Sanctify
yourselves!
The one decision that will serve you well no matter the path you choose is to
be pure. I’ve never seen a drug abuser prosper. Never! I’ve never seen
rebellion go well. I’ve never seen moral impropriety make one happy. Never!
Expect
God to do wonderful things! He will answer prayers that you did not know you
prayed! He will open doors you never expected and He will close doors that you
thought were essential. You will be both disappointed and excited. This is what
divine guidance is all about. Yield to it and it will be wonderful.
Jer
29:11
11
For
I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
