Remember Your Creator In The Days Of Your Youth

"Remember [thoughtfully] your Creator in the days of your youth [for you are not your own, but His], before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], “I have no enjoyment and delight in them” This is an admonition for young minds, not only young minds, but willing minds. The scripture shows us the opportunities we have in the days of our youth. The strength and abilities that can be channeled to serve God and humanity. There are investments that you can make now that will give you great returns tomorrow. There are seeds that you can sow today that will give you bountiful harvests in the future. A youth has more days ahead. He's just starting his life. He should do what he supposes to do. Move when you should move. Work when you should work. Pray when you should pray. Serve when you should serve. There are times when you will want to do these things but will not be able to do them. There are times when you will want to pray and won’t be able to pray. Do what you suppose to do now. Shun every excuse. Deal with your fear, and remove every obstacle on your way. Evil days will come. Whether you want it or not. Whether you are ready for it or not. It will come. Better to prepare for it before it comes. Days of your youth is when you have opportunity to prepare. When you have strength to do what is right. Don’t procrastinate. Neither hesitate. Gird up your loins. Strengthen yourself in the Lord. Hear what Jesus said; “So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall.” In both situations, the same wind blew, the same rain fell. But one stand, and the other did not. What happened? The foundation. One was built on the rock and the other on the sand. You need time to lay a good foundation. And not just time, but good materials; good concrete to reinforce the foundation. That is the power of preparation. If you don’t prepare for evil days, evil days will catch you unawares. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare. Blessings.
