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.'
Ecclesiastes 12:1
The world and its evil institutions tells us, “Youth for pleasure, middle age for business, old age for religion.” The very opposite of what the Infallible WORD OF GOD admonishes us to do.
The Bible tells us that, “Youth, middle age, and old age for your Creator.”
Remembering means to be able to bring to one's mind an awareness of (someone or something from the past).
Jesus during the last supper told His disciples and by extension us to continue taking the Holy communion in remembrance of Him. Why do we have to fill our thought life with Jesus and His vicarious death? What's your answer, tell me.
How good are we at remembering? Remembering good times? Bad times? How good are we at remembering God's promises?
I don't know about you, but I have been having selective memory.
It's easier to focus on your spouse's faults than on good times. It's easier to focus on the storms and heartaches of current circumstances and forget about God's promises.
Be selective in what you remember. Your happiness is dependent on what you choose to remember.
The Bible shows how to take control over what we choose to remember:
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
"Let GOD TRANSFORM you into a new person by changing THE WAY YOU THINK."
How does God change your thought life and by extension giving you the ability to decide what to remember?
Joshua 1:8 says, 'Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed.'
Push the ugly and bad times, places, people et cetera to the back burner. Cut them off and focus on the promises of God concerning your now, future and eternity.
I have moved forgetting what is behind—and straining forward to what lies ahead.
Don't let yesterday's failures derail you from the goal of your upward call of God in Christ. Press on for the gold medal prize until you meet the Lord Jesus at the finish.
