Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the bad days come, and the years come when you say, I have no contentment in them.
Ecclesiastes 12: 1
This verse brings to my memory many memories of when I began in the ways of God in which I reached 18 years of age, a stage for the young man which is difficult because the world offers you so many things, at the beginning of my Christian journey In conversations with my cousins they told me what I did in the gospel at such a young age if youth was to enjoy it and the gospel was for old people, people with problems.
In the course of this journey, many comments were made, but my faith in the Lord and the clinging in this verse led me to what I am today.
Clearly the Lord tells us to remember in the youth, one of the things which I see of the Lord because he wants this is because in youth is where the strength to do the work of God, is in young people where there is more danger of falling into the vices or the bad desires that the world offers.
Today millions of millions of young people die without even reaching the age of 25 to take a path away from God, it is in young people where there is the danger of perishing for bad acts committed.
God tells us before the bad days come, what bad days those days of anguish, in which God will not have that contentment.
In the Bible we can find many who in their youth went to that wonderful encounter with the Lord and which the Lord did wonderful things with them:
- We have the example of Joseph was only 17 when he was taken to Egypt, but God was with Joseph.
- We also see David was a young man when he defeated Goliath.
Today the evil has taken over many young people who turned their eyes away from their creator, today many mothers cry tears of blood, many prisons full, for the fact that the gospel is only for the elderly, a life with God It's boring
Well not today dear young man or brother who read this short reflection I urge you to look for that wonderful creator who gave his life for you and for me on a cross to give us life today, if you have a friend who has not yet met God Talk to him about his creator, read him this verse I install to meditate on him, and I know that the God of heaven will work in his life as he did one day in mine, do not waste your time in this world of evil, hold on to that one that will give you life eternal.
