Ecclesiastes 12:1
"Remember now thy Creator in the days
of thy youth, while the evil days come not"
Solomon made this admonition to young men and women, warning them about the dangers of not restraining one's fleshly desires. Solomon had failed in this area. He had many wives and a lot of earthly riches all of what turned his heart away from serving God. (1 Kings 11:1-8). At the end of his life he wrote to encourage young people to follow God while they are still in their youth; so that in their old age, they could look back on a fruitful life, having been blessed of God.
When we use the term "Creator" that along reveals that we as His "Creations" owes a great debt to our "Creator". How can we do less than serve and devote our life to God? When this fact is realized, then one can reflect on his life with peace in his heart. The result of this reflection is the acknowledgment that the pleasures of one's life cannot compare to the joy that comes from living for God. Let's serve our God faithfully, and not yield to fleshly desires, and we will not be held captive by them. Amen!!!
May God Bless You
