Word For the Week
Scripture Reading:
Ecclesiastes 12:1, Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore.
Believers and non-believers alike are busy enjoying their personal lives. They spend time participating in all kind of services and functions with various organizations. These organizations may include the Armed Forces, various Charity, Elks, Cub scouts, womens groups, & your job etc. Everything in your life seems to take precedence, your spouse, your kids, social network and your job. Yes, are all things that require your service. The question that we are confronted with is, when will we find time to serve the Lord. For example, there was a woman who said she was just to busy to go to church and participate, the next day she lost her job, and the Lord said, "now you have plenty of time". Remember, to thank God for all that he has provided you with, from your youth, to your health. Young people seem to not realize they are going to get old. They don't realize the time is coming when they wont have the strength to serve the Lord. If you are thinking about waiting until your old and done with life to serve, what good will you be to the body of Christ at that time. Remember, our reward in Heaven will be according to our works, and make no mistake, salvation is based on his grace, you cannot earn it. Let me leave you with this scripture to ponder this week. Rev 20:12, I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.
