Potential!

5th and 6th graders
Cornerstone Christian School

"Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!" (1 Cor. 9:24)


      Today, while visiting 5th and 6th graders at Cornerstone Christian School, I stood before a bright sea of potential - God's masterpieces, created in Christ Jesus for good works He planned long ago (Eph. 2:10).

       In the race of life, each of these children will encounter the crossroads between the narrow way with Jesus which leads to abundant life and and the broad way of the world - a certain road  to potential's death.

O Lord Jesus, Son of God and Great Shepherd, 
       Please lead every precious boy and girl I met today down Your path of righteousness for Your name's sake. I pray they will love You, obey Your voice, and hold fast to You all the days of their lives! Help them to serve You with whole hearts and willing minds. Empower them with every good thing to do the good work You've assigned to them, and enable them to stay the course, keep the faith, and finish well the race of life for Your glory! 
                                           In Jesus' name I pray. Amen and amen.
