Scripture reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1

There is a scripture that has been very strengthening to us, and to many people with whom we come in contact, who have been having problems and difficulties. We encourage them by saying, “Remember now thy Creator, in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

When we store up while we are young in the Lord, it comes back to bless us. As we grow older, as the scripture says, “when the eyes begin to fail, when the grinders cease” (Ecclesiastes 12:3), those are the days when we are to have pleasure in the Lord. If we do not have pleasure in the Lord while we are young and while we are strong, we will not be able to endure the end of the day. But praise God, His goodness endureth forever. Hallelujah. So, as we partake of His goodness while we can, we are storing up, storing up, storing up, because there are many who have entered into evil days when they cannot store because they have not stored while the days were good, and so the evil has caught upon them. You go into the hospital and you see it. But praise God for what He is giving us now to store that His goodness will endure forever in us.

We are in the days when the battle of good and evil is seen clearly and God has helped many of us to store, to store, and store and we are encouraging young ones, store, that the Lord can enrich and give you all the strength, that we walk in the goodness and not in evil. We reap the goodness and not the evil. Praise God. Amen.
