Ecclesiastes 12

Finishing up the book of Ecclesiastes, Pastor Lance discusses the importance of living for God while young. As Solomon discusses, the older you get, the harder it is to pursue the Lord. Life lived without God is emptiness and vanity: Solomon begins and concludes the same thing in looking at each aspect of life. Pastor Lance reiterates that life passes by quickly, and youth is gone in an instant. With eternity knocking at the door, can we look back on our life and say that we lived it for the glory of God? Live for God now, seek Him now, before it’s too late. No one is promised tomorrow. We must take God’s truth, allow it to prod us in the correct direction, and hang our life upon it…allowing the Lord to direct our steps. Pastor Lance states that the world is pulling hard at believers now, but we have a Shepherd who lived, died, and resurrected for us so that we could have a right relationship with Him…and He calls each of us by name. When you fear God, you will fear nothing else. Will we embrace His Word and allow it to bring us into right standing with Him today? “Fear God, and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”
