Day of Praise

Thur, 07/26/18, "Day of Praise"

Ecclesiastes 12:1 - "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, 'I find no pleasure in them.'"

The preacher who long ago wrote today's verse from Ecclesiastes was inspired by God to recognize that life's short -- very short in the grand scheme of the everlasting into which we'll all be raised up when Jesus comes again!

So get out there, and make the most of this blessed day today. See some people. Spend time with loved ones. Or as I and my loved ones enjoy, spend time with your loved ones by going to visit someone who needs a visitor. Get outside and enjoy the wonder of God's creation. Go celebrate somebody or something. Be active and energetic and cheerful. Make the most of today!!!

Ah, sure, I know today's Thursday. It's a workday. But what's that got to do with it?

Life is short!

So I'll say it again...

Get out there, and make the most of this blessed day today. See some people. Spend time with loved ones. Or as I and my loved ones enjoy, spend time with your loved ones by going to visit someone who needs a visitor. Get outside and enjoy the wonder of God's creation. Go celebrate somebody or something. Be active and energetic and cheerful. Make the most of today!!!

And as, in essence, God says through today's verse, live today in a way that then you're prepared and eager to thank God for all the good things you've enjoyed!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:1 - Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them."

Praise God!
