Remember
your Creator. There
is God. He is active in this
world. He wants to give you a
message today.
Eccl.
11:9 Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy
in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your
eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your
body, for youth and vigor are meaningless. 12:1 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"-- 2 before the sun
and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return
after the rain; 3 when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men
stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through
the windows grow dim;
What
in the world does God want? It is
so easy to forget.
1.
God wants you to be Happy. Enjoy
your life -- with God. God
wants to give you the best of life.
Eccl
11:9 Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy
in the days of your youth.
Eph.
5:18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord;
2.
God wants you to go with Him. He
knows the way. Are God’s ways
your ways?

Christ?
Eccl.
11:9 Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy
in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your
eyes see,
Psalm
128:1 Blessed are all who fear
the LORD, who walk in his ways.
2
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3.
God is watching you.
Whatever you do, God cares enough to look.
He wants to catch you doing something good.
Eccl. 11:9…
but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
He will judge the good and the bad.
4.
God wants to put meaning in your life.
Everything is meaningless. All the things that trouble you are
meaningless without the Lord. Why? All of life is for nothing unless you give your life to the
Lord and remember Him throughout your days.
Eccl.
11:10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of
your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.
5.
God wants you to remember Him in your life.
Eccl. 12:1 Remember your Creator in the days
of your youth Before
long you will forget. You will
get older and things won’t come as easy as it does today.
So, remember him now.
Are you
going with God? Will you decide
to go with Him tonight?

What
in the world does God want? Do
you remember?
Solomon
the author of Ecclesiastes wants to know what is the meaning to life.
After all we feel like we must be here for a reason.
We didn’t just happen to be. We
were by design of a real God who is above us all. So then, what does He want?
What does He want of me and of our church? Here is what I hear Solomon saying in the last two chapters
of his writing in Ecclesiastes.
Eccl.
11:9 Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy
in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your
eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your

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"-- 2 before
the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds

God

wants to give you the best of life.
Eph. 5:18 And be not

to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making
melody in your heart to the Lord;
God
wants you to go with Him. He knows the way.
Are God’s ways your ways? Is
Church Participation Important to your life as a Disciple of Christ?
Psalm 128:1 Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be
yours.
God
wants to see you doing the right thing.
Whatever you do, God cares enough to look.
He wants to catch you doing something good. He
will judge the good and the bad. But
he is looking for the good. He
won’t overlook the bad. 2Chr
16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to
shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
God
wants to put meaning in your life.
Everything is meaningless says Solomon. All the things that trouble you
are meaningless with the Lord. Why?
All of life is for nothing unless you give your life to the Lord and
remember Him throughout your days. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all
these other things will be added unto you. He is there to give you peace of
mind and heart. 1Pet
5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you.
God
wants you to remember Him in your life.
Before long
you will forget. You will get
older and things won’t come as easy as it does today.
So, remember him now before it is too late.
At a time when a lot of people are making God last on their list, I
wonder where is God on yours? Have
you forgotten about Him? Is He
still God on your life? You can
enjoy your life much more by giving yourself to Him and remembering Him.
Will you? Eph.
5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake
thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
