Meditation
Remember your Creator
You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment (Eccl 11:9). Let the young people take a chance to enjoy the good things of life. There will be judgment, but you will not know life unless you live life. Learning through the experience of life is better.
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them” (Eccl 12:1). It is good to remember the God who made us in the youth. The thought of God will keep us going through life properly. It is true experience is the best teacher. Learning the hard way leads to pain and sorrow. In youth, let the thought of God be in us.
Do we take a chance to take risks and enjoy youth?
