BEFORE THE EVIL DAYS

Text: Ecclesiastes 12:1

Remember now your Creator in the days of your yputh: Before the days of evil come,  and the years approach when you will say,  "I have no delight in them".

One good reason you are told to remember your Creator in the days of your youth is because of the evil days. That the evil days will come is not negotiable, but what you do before the evil days come is all that counts. 

Now, the evil days does not mean some external evil or unfortunate events will befall you. Rather, the evil days is your old age, or your night times. 

That is why Jesus said in John 9:4 that He must work the works of Him that sent Him while it is day,  because the night comes when no one can work. 

With that simple statement, we can deduce what the day time is meant for. 

It is to do the works of Him who sent you.  

The night for some, may not  necessarily mean old age,  but the day of death.  Jesus died in the flesh before he was 34years. He understood the shortness of the time  to the point that when He was giving up the ghost,  He boldly declared that " it is finished".

Your preoccupation before the evil days is to walk in the light.Jesus is the Light. In Him is life and the life is the light of men. John 1:4.

Anyone who is not in the Light (Jesus),  is in the night time already regardless of his age. He can't work any work whether young or old.

Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 12:1-14.
