Joanie wanna share...Hey friends, I came across a website that gave interesting illustrations on Ecclesiates 12:1-8, 13. I shall review bits and pieces of it every Wedensday. Quite a long write up actually. Haha..."REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH!"
INTRO: Have you ever known someone who is always late for everything? They are always in a rush just to catch up because they are always late. At times, this kind of habit can be costly, they miss out on important things or information because of a late arrival. How much better to be on time and start early, this is precisely the idea behind this passage.
ILLUSTRATION:Like the man who came rushing up to a lake, he arrived breathless after running full steam to get there. But the gateman shut the door in his face. He just missed the boat!A bystander remarked to him, " I guessed you didn't run fast enough!"The disappointed man answered, " I ran fast enough, but i didn't start on time."TO ACCOMPLISH THE MOST FOR GOD IN A LIFETIME YOU MUST START EARLY ...“IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH” Ecc. 12:1 – SOURCE UNKNOWN
Statistically we know that the longer a person goes without accepting Christ the less likely they are to find Him ... the patterns of our life are set down in our youth. How important it is then to remember God in our youth!Therefore, I would like to urge all youths to reach out to your friends RIGHT NOW! Reach them early before they missed the boat!
