Remember now your
Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the
years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”
Ecclesiastes 12:1
فاذكر خالقك في ايام شبابك قبل ان تأتي ايام الشر او تجيء السنون
اذ تقول ليس لي فيها سرور.
When I was 10 years old,
someone who was 30 in comparison looked ‘old’. When I reached 30 I remember
telling my friends wow we are ‘old’, how did that happen so quickly? We are no
longer ‘youth’, however I quickly realized that 20 years into the future we
will look at 30 years old as ‘youth’. That example carries on, when you are 90,
60 looks like ‘youth’. So Ecclesiastes 12:1 applies to all of us independent of
age, let us remember our creator NOW.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and everlasting love
for me, Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace
upon my life. Help me Lord to
remember You NOW and
all the time in my youth and in my ‘old’ age, in my going out and in my coming
in, in my labour and in my leisure, in my laughter and in my tears. Thank you
Father that through my joy in You I will never get to a state where I will say
about my years: “I
have no pleasure in them”. Thank You my Heavenly Father that You care so
much about me that I can always cast all my anxiety upon You. Father God I pray to You in the name of The
King of kings and Lord of lords, my Redeemer and Saviour; the Lord of my life,
Jesus Christ. To Jesus be
the power, the glory, the
majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time and now and forever.
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
