"Honor Him in Your Youth"
Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore." (Ecclesiastes 12:1 NLT)
This verse highlights the importance of knowing & serving the Lord at an early age. We should encourage our kids to come to know Jesus very young. This will save them a lot of heartache & God will receive more glory from their lives. Years of knowing & serving the Lord will produce a very fruitful adult life for them in the kingdom of God. Every investment they make for him when they are young will reap spiritual maturity when they are older.
Many people make excuses for why kids can't walk with God or know him & grow in him but this isn't the case. They can know him & we should do everything we can to encourage them to know Jesus. Many kids are preoccupied with things & God takes the back burner until they marry & have a family. By that time, if they don't know Jesus, a third to a half of their life could be gone!
Life is too short to wait any length of time to come to Christ. Today is the day of salvation.
