Ecclesiastes 12:1. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;” REMEMBER NOW. Everything is fresh and new, bright and exciting, seeming to glow awaiting discovery.
The colors are brilliant, the sounds are clear as a bell, the contrasts are great. Vibrant in living color, each living day is filled with anticipation and bright hopes. Life pulses with a fullness ready to burst on inquiring minds. Emotions jump from low to high in a moment and fill each one to the top. The absolute splendor of an undiscovered day lies each moment beyond the covers.
The bloom of health and vigor undiminished by time and age and use is yours. Use each sight of beauty, sound of life, vision of the unknown as an opportunity. Advantages of fresh, fallow, fertilized soil of the mind awaits the seed of life. Friends, family, fellowship of kindred spirits opens vistas before young eyes and minds. Schools of learning inside and out of buildings give opportunities to discover things unknown. The mind, emotions and the will of youth comes once and then is gone forever.
So learn from age and experience and God, things not able to be seen with eyes. They can be heard and read in pages turned and studied with the mind uncluttered. Truths from ages past - new and changeless and right that give foundation To a life unfilled unless they are claimed by you, the young. And when they’re yours; The far and distant questions of the mind and soul are reached. Not just with the senses; But now with the soul and spirit that flies unfettered to the farthest reaches of the universe.
These all together: body, soul and spirit will make the young one all complete; When each one lives with vigor, joy and fullness of each everlasting part of you. The Creator-God has made us to not settle with a part fulfilled and others left undone. The body fits just what He wanted us to be on earth in preparation for eternal day. The soul - our mind, emotions and our will when all combined to work for God; Gives meaning to the life we live when our spirit soars, and we know Him as Lord.
Remember now, that you are no mistake or strange aberration that happened by mistake or mans’ fickle choice. You have been made by God, for Him and your joys and hopes and reasons are all complete in Him alone. Remember now, Him – your God and Creator and gratitude to Him for life will flow. Remember now, that you are His by choice – His choice; and all the questions yet; Will be answered by Him alone, who knows the questions and answers before they are expressed. “Remember now thy Creator,” and be wise beyond your years and peers who still are wondering and waiting.
“O God of the young, who knows each mood swing and each desire: I want to intercede for these young people who have been listening to me these past days. Give them a sense of who You are, so they will recognize how important they are. Some are not happy because they are different in life-style from others around. Some are confused with truth and the practices they see in other professing Christians. I don’t know what else to say to them right now. Please keep them safe for Your own glory. Amen.”
