Ecclesiastes 12:1-2, 4, 6-7 “Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old & say, “Life is not pleasant anymore…”
4 Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint…
6 Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. 7 For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
Remember your Creator: life is SHORT & FRAGILE
James 4:13-17 “13 Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” 14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15 What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” 16 Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.
17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
Count every DAY as a GIFT from God
Do what’s RIGHT QUICKLY while there’s opportunity
Main Idea
Life is brief and fragile, so remember your Creator while you still have time. Don’t delay to take needed action. Do it NOW and seize the day.
