Ecclesiastes 12:1
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
Youth is a time of discovery, growth, and potential, but it is also a time when many are tempted to stray from the path of righteousness. This verse encourages us to remember our Creator while we are young. It is easy to become distracted by the pleasures of youth, but this verse calls us to recognize God’s presence and His purpose for us, even in our formative years. Remembering our Creator means acknowledging His role in our lives, seeking His guidance, and living according to His will. When we remember God in our youth, we set ourselves up for a life of wisdom, faith, and joy. He is the foundation for all that is good and true, and when we seek Him early, we are better equipped to face the challenges of life with strength and purpose.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
