Ecclesiastes 12:1
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come out, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
This verse indeed had catch my attention long time ago. We should be conscious and beware!! Don't ever think that we are too young or there are a lot of time in the future, and then MAYBE i can commit my life to God in the future or other. Yes, i said it is a MAYBE and not SHALL because we will never know what will happen in future. Besides, the moment we want to delay to commit our life to God, isn't it is a moment we ought to examine our heart?? Why need to wait at the first place?? What is restraining us, isn't the work of Satan, the world?? Where we place God in our life?? Many youngsters nowadays treat God very lightly. They act as if they are the master of themselves. They pray to God without believing that God will answer and become angry when they think their prayers are not answered. They commit to God only when they think they are in need and they are in troubles. They seldom take God's Words seriously. They read the bible when they feel want to but at the same time did not take heed for the message that God want to give to them. How often we just read the bible and without understand it?? For me, it used to be like a habit, starting from verse 1 in one chapter and to the last verse, then "hooray , i have done my part", then the bible is closed. Yet, later i found out it very meaningless by doing it, i cant hear what God want to speak to me through His words, i am basically closing my ears with my 'stubborn' hands while God is speaking. Do not wait until we are old, when all our senses are weaken and we are no more able to serve God as we want to. Therefor pray to God constantly to give us the true faith and listen carefully to what God want to tell us.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service.
