The word "wow" as an exclamation is used to express admiration or surprise or it can also be used as a noun to say something or somebody is a great success, as in "Don’t worry, you'll be a wow".

Can you say life is wow? Life is short so make the most of it by creating memories that you will be able to revisit without regrets later on. Avoid the prodigal son scenario. Anxious to get away from home he enters into a new kind of bondage and seriously messes up.

“There was once a man who had two sons. The younger one said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the property now.’ So the man divided his property between his two sons. After a few days the younger son sold his part of the property and left home with the money. He went to a country far away, where he wasted his money in reckless living.” Luke 15:11b-13

If you are still young, there is a special passage in Ecclesiastes just for you. Read Ecclesiastes 11:9-10

Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still young. Do what you want to do, and follow your heart’s desire. But remember that God is going to judge you for whatever you do. Don’t let anything worry you or cause you pain. You aren’t going to be young very long.

What does it mean to be a wow Christian? That means bringing what you do and say in line with what you believe. If we become like Christ, the values we believe in is more than just a list of do’s and don’ts. It’s being like Christ in all we do.

You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14

Prayer: Almighty God, please help me through your Spirit to become more and more like your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
