Key Verse: Verse 1 - “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;”
Key Words: Remember now thy Creator
It is difficult to constantly think about the Creator, unless of course you are out on a cloudless night looking up into heaven.
A pastor I know tells of the following.
"During one of our vacations with our family and our extended family, we rented a houseboat up at Lake Shasta. And while we were there, a couple of nights we decided we would sleep on top of the houseboat. So we dragged our sleeping bags up there. I mean, it fits me, but a classy lady like my wife, it just didn't seem to fit. So I reassured her we wouldn't roll off. And this was one place I could snore and not disturb anybody else. When we put our heads back on the pillow and we looked up and all the lights were off, of course, and the whole place was quiet, the stars by the thousands surrounded us. I mean, it was like you could reach out and touch the Milky Way. It was there and it has been there all the time, those same bodies that Abram looked at in the middle of the night. God loves visual aids.”
It is recorded that Napoleon, the French military genius, was aboard ship in the Mediterranean one clear starry night. He was on deck and was walking past a small group of sailors apparently mocking the idea of a supreme being. One sailor remarked, “God of creation, what a joke.” Napoleon stopped, stared at them, and sweeping his hands across the stars of the sky he said, “Gentlemen, you must get rid of those first!”
Amen!
What to do:
✞ Remember the Creator.
