“Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 11:9–10
encouragement for today
There’s a recipe for positive living here: Enjoy what you have in the moment. Focus on what you have, not on what you don’t have or what could go wrong. While you are young, enjoy your youth and take care of your body. But as you enjoy whatever you’ve been given, don’t focus on the thing itself and expect it to last forever. Only God lasts forever. Ultimate meaning can never be found in anything we possess, such as youth or health. Ultimate meaning is only found in that which does not change.
