H- [X] Ecclesiastes 12:1 — Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”: #20 in Creation series
E- “Remember your Creator” is a command to youth to fear, love, faithfully serve and worship God – who had the wisdom and power to create the magnificent universe and you. Youth is a better time than old age to seriously pursue the duties of loving and serving Jesus. Old age will bring the difficult days with its infirmities, evil days, and sadness. He suggests that there will be a time when you have no pleasure in them. But that is not true for the Disciple [A] who loves Jesus and is looking forward to being with Him soon. Someone, who has not given the leftovers to Jesus:
“ Leftovers
Leftovers are such humble things,
We would not serve to a guest,
And yet we serve them to our Lord
Who deserves the very best.
We give to Him leftover time,
Stray minutes here and there.
Leftover cash we give to Him,
Such few coins as we can spare.
We give our youth unto the world,
To hatred, lust and strife;
Then in declining years we give
To him the remnant of our life.”- Author Unknown [Z1]
A- Now is the time to make Jesus first in our life whatever our age.
H- O God help me to “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” [Matthew 6:33]
