The Weak Young Man and the Strong Old Man
The Parable of Time and Season
Part One
Meet the Old-Young Man
Oh, how I miss those golden years when GOD's friendship graced my home, When the Mighty One was still by my side and my children were all around me, when everything was going my way, and nothing seemed too difficult. Job 29:4-5
The lamentation of Job’s regret is common to most old men and women who are too unfortunate to have come across a time-challenging article like this or who have not met the right people who could create a challenge in their hearts to press forward and direct them right in the matters of destiny. These old men and women also include those who are old in their minds but young in their faces. When you see these sets of people, you will almost call them elders. No innovation. No dream. No new thought or inspiration. No motivation. Always look weak, tired and disappointed all the time. No strength in them. They fail the test of simple joy. They fail the test of hope. They fail to test of faith.
Most of them lost their sources of life- GOD, before realizing the golden opportunities they have. Some never see reasons to engage the GOD in and inside them. They don’t see the Him that tabernacle in them. Greater, the scriptures call Him. (See 1John 4:4) They can’t find a fulfilling career in GOD and they stay alone in their career pursuits. They were always trying to hope and hoping with no faith-end expectation. Such people looks humble I their speeches of weak faith. Of such people, you will hear it is well 15times in just a minute.
The Case and the Cast
Job’s case was pitiable, our own might be more if we will not take life serious than we take it now. We are just too old in our minds. Our minds cannot produce any productive thought because, the power-rock has been neglected. Now, the problem here is simple. I wish Job had come in contact with Ecclesiastes12: 1 early enough.
“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”
Job could not remember at that time. Although, he later remembered, it has become too late for him. How did he think when he was younger? He had GOD’s attention on his table our life decision, what was the output? He remembered God, but he was not walking in the fulfillment of the fullness. So, it is not remembering GOD that matters, but remembering Him in the days of your Youth, engaging Him, and making fruitfulness in your relationship with. This time is very significant to destiny fulfillment.
…….Those who remember GOD in the days of their youth cannot forget GOD when they are old.....
