Make Your Old Age Easier & More Enjoyable,
By Doing God's Will Everyday While You Are Young

Don’t let the excitement of being young cause you to forget about your Creator. Honor him in your youth before the evil years come—when you’ll no longer enjoy living. It's exciting to be young.

(Eccl 12:1)TLB.

So have as much fun as possible
But make sure that all of your fun is God-Approved!
Memorize And Use What You Learn From The Bible Everyday
Remember All That God Has Done For You, And What He Means To You.
Keep doing what is right, even when it seems hard and unpopular - Honor Him in your youth
Realize you won't alway be...

as young,
as attractive,
and as healthy as you are now - before the evil years come—when you’ll no longer enjoy living.

You Can Do God's Will Blind, Or Half-Blind,
But It's Better If You Start Doing His Will
While You Are Still Young Enough,
And Your Eyesight Is Still Good And Strong!

It will be too late then to try to remember him when the sun and light and moon and stars are dim to your old eyes, and there is no silver lining left among your clouds.

(Eccl 12:2)TLB.

There is such a thing as Too Late!
Your memory may be bad.
Your eyesight will probably be weak.
And there is little, to no chance that your health will improve.
So, waiting for things to get better, before you obey God is a Big Mistake!
However, if you learn God's Will when you are still young... you will have that problem solved! And you will be able to handle the problems that come with old age a lot better.

You Can Serve God's With Crippling Handicaps,
And Embarrassing Dental Problems,
But You Can Often Get More Done For Him
Without These Problems!

For there will come a time when your limbs will tremble with age, your strong legs will become weak, and your teeth will be too few to do their work, and there will be blindness too.

(Eccl 12:3)TLB

In your old age...

You won't be as strong as you use to be
You won't be able to come and go as freely as you use to
You won't be able eat all the things you used to eat
You won't be able to see as good as you use to see

Realize The Difficulty In Trying To Come To God,
In Old Age, After Saying No To Him All Your Life;
And When You Are Most Likely To Have
A Multitude Of Health Problems

Then let your lips be tightly closed while eating when your teeth are gone! And you will waken at dawn with the first note of the birds; but you yourself will be deaf and tuneless, with quavering voice.

(Eccl 12:4)TLB 

If you don't trust God Now when you are young and in good health: Will you be able to start trusting him...

when all your teeth are gone
when its hard to get a good nights sleep
when you are unable to hear
and barely able to speak?
Not Impossible, But Not Likely!

If You Keep Putting Things Off Until The Last Minute,
You May Become Too Fearful Of Any Kind Of Change,
And Too Sickly And Fragile To Obey God

You will be afraid of heights and of falling—a white-haired, withered old man, dragging himself along: without sexual desire, standing at death’s door, and nearing his everlasting home as the mourners go along the streets.

(Eccl 12:5)TLB. 

Here are 9 more health problems that old age can bring...

Fear of heights
Fear of falling
Fear in general
Grey Hair , and Hair loss
wrinkled skin, and other skin problems
Always feeling tired
No sex drive, or Very Low sex drive
Breathing problems and possibly heart problems
And even the Fear of Dying itself

So, Do Everything You Are Going To Do For God,
Before You Start Getting Too Tired, Too Forgetful,
And Find Breathing Too Difficult!

Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young—before the silver cord of life snaps and the gold bowl is broken; before the pitcher is broken at the fountain and the wheel is broken at the cistern;

(Eccl 12:6)TLB. 

There is no deathbed salvation, because a person is suppose to remember God...

While they are still able to think and have the proper use of their mind
And while they are still able to breathe, and have a fairly good use of their body

-7-
Realize You Must Obey God, Before You Die,
Because There Is Absolutely No Way
To Obey Him After You Die!

Then the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

(Eccl 12:7)TLB. 

Here is what happens at death...

Death separates the body from the spirit
The body turns back into lifeless dust
And the spirit goes back into the hands of God, so he can put it where it truly belongs... in a place of peace, or a place of torment.

Which place God puts you in is determined by how you lived on earth. So, get your life right with God, before its too late!
