Week 15: April 7 - April 13, 2003

REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR

Key Passage: Eccl 11: 1-5

So remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days come when you will say, “I don’t enjoy life.” That is when the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars will grow dim for you, and the rain clouds will never pass away. Then your arms, that have protected you, will tremble, and your legs, now strong, will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to chew your food, and your eyes too dim to see clearly. Your ears will be deaf to the noise of the street. You will barely be able to hear the mill as it grinds or music as it plays, but even the song of a bird will wake you from sleep. You will be afraid of high places, and walking will be dangerous. Your hair will turn white; you will hardly be able to drag yourself along, and all desire will be gone.

Aging is real and inevitable. When a person is young, it will seem as if the youthful age will last forever. But there is a day when the legs will be heavy and the eyes deem, when courage will sag and strength diminish, when sumptuous meals will be tasteless and beautiful music unpleasant, when old age will set in and life become boring. Then there will be no more drive for success and exploit, and one cannot put in his best in honoring and serving his Creator.

God desires that you spend your life wisely and use your talents and abilities to serve Him at the best. There is no better time to do exploits for God than now. This is the right time to pray and seek His face to know what He wants you to do for His Kingdom’s sake. It is the time to look inward to know the talents and abilities you have that could be useful in serving Him. Step out by faith and tell someone your testimony and the ‘Good News’ of Jesus love. Spend a little time to pray for someone. Give a gift to someone who could not afford it. Join an activity group and help disciple others for Christ. Send support to that missionary or ministry that needs it most. Ask your Pastor or fellowship leader what you could do to help move the ministry forward. There are many things you could do, as the Holy Spirit would direct you.

If we fail to use our talents and abilities at the prime of our lives, we would have wasted a lot of the investments God made on us as our Creator. The greatest act of appreciation we can show to God is to honor and serve Him with those talents and abilities. That will bring us divine commendation and eternal reward. Remember the parable of Jesus, that the servant who was resourceful with his talent was rewarded, while the servant who buried his talent was condemned and thrown into outer darkness where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matt 26:21-30).

Pray that God will help you not to waste your years, but use your talents and abilities to the glory of His name.
