How wonderful of our God to warn us while we are still young of the foolishness of seeking all our joy and pleasure here in this world.
For a happy and fruitful life, go to Him. "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:1010The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10). Everything this world has to offer is "Vanity of vanities."
"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." Eccl. 12:11Remember 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; (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
Yes! While it is the bright, fresh springtime of your life, remember your Creator. Give God your early days, your best days. Many have regretted in middle life that they did not obey His call and turn to Him for salvation earlier. "He saith unto them, Follow Me.... And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." Matt. 4:19, 2019And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. (Matthew 4:19‑20).
You who are young in this world today
Have you heard that ringing call?
Are you ready to heed? Will you walk the way
That is bravest and best of all?
It is sounding down from the heights above;
It is Christ's word, "Follow Me!"
Ah, straightway answer the mighty love,
His servants and soldiers to be.
