GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE A GOOD TIME...DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE JUDGMENT.

GOD'S ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

 Here is a caution to think of death, even when life is most sweet.
God is opposed to anything that diminishes our joy. What many think is a "good time" is actually self-abuse. Life is fleeting, so fear and obey God, for your own good.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes: but know you, that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Ecclesiastes 11:9

Solomon makes an effecting address to young people. They should desire opportunities to pursue every pleasure. Then follow your desires, but be assured that God will call you into judgment. How many give loose to every appetite, and rush into every vicious pleasure!. There is a whole world of possibilities and opportunities. There are many things you can do with your life. There are many places you can go. Enjoy life. 

Being Young Is A Blessing From God. The older we get, the more responsibilities we have and the less we can do. The older you get, the less you want to go and do things. The older you get, the harder it is on the body to go and do the things that are available to enjoy in life. The Teacher’s council is to do things in life while you are young because those opportunities will not be available later in life. But God registers every one of our sinful thoughts and desires, our idle words and wicked words. If we would avoid remorse and terror, if we would have hope and comfort on a dying bed, if we would escape misery here and hereafter, let us remember the vanity of youthful pleasures. That Solomon means to condemn the pleasures of sin is evident. His object is to draw us the young to purer and more lasting joys.

I Corinthians 17:31 -'' Because he (God) hath appointed a day in which he  will judge the world in righteousness,by that man (Christ Jesus) whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead''. God always warns the people, if he is going to send judgment. In the  days of Noah the people had 120 years to be prepared, only 8 entered into the ark. Then  later the Canaanites that dwelt in the land that God was going to give to the Israelites, 
were given 430 years to repent and turn from their wickedness, but they would not. Ever since 
the days of the Lord Jesus, and even in the Old Testament he would one day judge this world; 
but even today people will not repent of their sins, and receive Christ as Saviour and 
Lord.
May I ask you a Question- Are you trusting Christ as your savior? When 
God warns of judgment, you may be sure that it will take place.

 This is not the language of one grudging youthful pleasures, because he can no longer partake of them; but of one who has, by a miracle of mercy, been brought back in safety. He would persuade the young from trying a course whence so few return. If us the young people would live a life of true happiness, if we would secure happiness hereafter, let us  remember our Creator in the days of our youth.

God Wants You To Know That You Will Answer To Him For Your Conduct While You Are Young...., remember the joy of the lord is our strength!!! AND HE WHO IS IN US IS GREATER THAN HE WHOSE IN THE WORLD!

When we come to the end of ourselves, we come to the beginning of God.

“It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.” (2 Corinthians 3:5) It has been said that when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God. Many times when hardship comes, we have our own plans for how to handle it. We have plan A, B, C, D, and E. And after we have exhausted all of those, we find ourselves in that place where we say, “If God doesn’t come through for me, it is over with. This is horrible.” But actually, it is not horrible, because it is an opportunity for God to show His glory. When times are tough, we have a built in instinct to become dependent upon God for strength that is needed. It is obvious that so many of us are growing weary in these dark days of oppression that we live.  Struggles surround us at every corner and it is hard to stave off the growing fears of uncertainty.  We were told in the Scripture that these times would come and test the faithful, but how do we keep standing

sometimes the lord will have to break you to mould you into his very likness

Lord make me and mold me into the person You want me to be. The Bible says in Isaiah 64:8 that He is the potter and we are the clay.  Let's be who He wants us to be!!!!! Why do my lips sing, “Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me” yet my selfish heart cries, “Bless me, extol me, affirm me, approve me, provide for me?” Could it be that I tend to forget one of Scriptures truest principles? God develops the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives by allowing us to experience circumstances in which we are tempted to express the exact opposite quality.  God wants to teach us biblical love by putting unlovely people around us. God’s classroom for teaching us  genuine joy is the place of sorrow. It is in the midst of chaos and confusion that you discover real peace. God’s method of character development is to “break you, melt you, mold you…” “Mold” me.  The dictionary defines the verb “mold” as “ to form, shape, fashion, model an object with a particular shape.” God’s plan and purp

God is collecting your tears -psalm 56:8

GOD KNOWS!!! Your tears have a voice  and they get God's attention. whatever concerns you ,,,concerns him and he collects the tears that scream his name. In that moment of mixed emotions, I desperately needed God’s comfort and reassurance, and I found it in Psalm 56:8. "You keep track of all my sorrows.You have collected all my tears in your bottle.You have recorded each one in your book." I love the image of God keeping all my tears in a bottle. I can envision shelves filled with bottles in Heaven, each with a name on it, and an accompanying scroll documenting every tear and lament.  I wonder, does my bottle have my name on it?  Is it a special color?  I wonder if God, my Father looks at my bottle full of tears and says, “Ah, that one is my daughter, Gracy’s! Her bottle of tears is so precious to me and I treasure each one. I am intimately acquainted with all her ways and I love her.  When she has cried tears that no one sees, I have seen, I know and cherish ea
