Our Scripture reading today is 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;"
Today is a good day to live for and serve God and the sooner the better. We have all
suffered from the curse of procrastination. Continuing to put off doing something for a
better time and place. Unfortunately, Satan uses this far too often in the lives of born
again believers and especially in our young people. There is no better time than the
present to surrender our will to God's will. What is it that you are holding onto that needs
to be sacrificed on the altar? God gave us His best in the Lord Jesus. How can we hold
out on God?
“As in youth all the powers are more active and vigorous, so they are capable of superior enjoyments. Faith, hope, and love, will be in their best tenor, their greatest vigour, and in their least encumbered state. And it will be easier for you to believe, hope, pray, love, obey, and bear your cross, than it can be in old age and decrepitude.” (Clarke)
