Ecc. 11:9 Young man, it’s wonderful to be young!
Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But
remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do.
Being on this side of life’s cycle, I appreciate
the truthfulness of this statement. When
you are young life is full of possibilities.
We dream a lot of what we want our lives to be like and often form plans
to make it happen. In our youth we feel
indestructible and wiser than most. In
our youth, life is carefree with no thought of the consequences for our
decisions or activities. Life should be
cherished and enjoyed, but there also needs to be an awareness that life
doesn’t stop in our youth.
As we grow older we begin to understand that
there are consequences for our decisions.
We discover that we alone are responsible for our actions. We learn the hard way that wrong decisions
bring unwelcome results. We learn that
life isn’t always kind and forgiving. We
learn that we reap what we sow.
The most important lesson a person can ever
learn in life is that we must give an account to God for everything we do. Whether we want to believe it or not,
everyone will stand before God and answer to Him for how we live. Denying it will not change it. God holds us responsible and accountable for
our living, and even our thinking. There
is coming a day in which everyone will pass before God and answer to Him for how
they have lived.
You can learn the easy way or the hard way, but
learn you will. God is judge over
all. No one will get away with
anything. If we sow wild oats on earth,
we will end up in hell. If we live
righteously before God on earth, we will end up in heaven. God forces each of us to choose. Every day we choose whether or not we will
obey God. Every day we are contributing
to the decision God will make regarding our eternity. We will get what we deserve. You are choosing today whom you will
serve.
Enjoy life to the fullest; live life fully
surrendered to the Lord.
