Rory McIlroy

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy held on to the lead and won the Honda Classic golf tournament this past weekend. He had to withstand a furious charge by Tiger Woods in order to claim the victory. The win enabled McIlroy to become the top-ranked golfer in the world, quite a feat for a young man who is only 22 years old.

The Bible says that we shouldn’t be surprised to see young people excel. Paul encouraged his young disciple Timothy with these words: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”—1 Timothy 4:12.

Do you know young people who are performing admirably in some way? Remember to let them know that you appreciate their efforts. Let’s encourage our youth to shine brightly!
