Youth News: Sep. 5, 2019
Thursday July 2nd, 2020Hi Youth,
This week I want to give a challenge to you all based off of our Time with Abba today. Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:2 has this to say:
9 Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. 10 So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.
12 Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”
In this profound passage, I want to make it clear to you all that the author is reminding the readers to know that we are not to simply put in this life for our selfish pleasure. In fact, we are supposed to engage with this world but to not be of the world. By this, we engage as Christ ambassadors to the lost and consistently remember that we are not to settle completely in this life here on Earth, because God has a bigger and more wonderful plan for us.
As Youth, take time to write down any sins or worldly pleasure that is meaningless. After some time of self reflection, offer these sins over to Abba so that you can live a life that is pleasing to your Heavenly Father.
Blessings,
Sam
