Eccl 11:9
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
Walk in the ways of your heart,
And in the sight of your eyes;
But know that for all these
God will bring you into judgment.
The Bible teaches one how to enjoy life to its fullest, and even
be a blessing to your descendents. One can go all over the world and find the same
everywhere - wherever God has worked, it is obvious and evident. Whole nations are
uplifted. However, wherever God has been rejected and denied, it is obvious too. No nation
which deny and reject God can prosper. Even in Germany it has been recorded that hundreds
of years ago, they were very, lived in squalor and had many superstitions which kept them
backward.
Some white nations still enjoy the fruit of their Christian
heritage. Many of them have now rejected God, but their ancestors were godfearing, and
served God, and the present generation live on a heritage of past blessing - which will be
lost as they cast off the Lord. God promised that He would punish sin, and bring a curse
on such a family even to their 3rd and 4th generation. However, He also promised that He
would bless those that love and fear Him, even to their 1000th generation.
Those that continue in their sin will eventually lose the
inherited blessing they received from their parents.
If you truly want to prosper as a family and nation, listen to the
godly advice given.
Others say that they want to enjoy their youth while they are
young. Consider the verse we've read. Enjoy your youth, but remember that for everything
you will be brought to judgement, sometimes even in this world.
Rather listen to the Word of God, which teaches true wisdom and
teaches you how to really enjoy life to the full, now and eternally. Today life and death
is set before you; choose life for you and your descendents.
