Robyn's Bible Reading Strategies Applied
1428. Don't Forget Your Creator Today's Passage: Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend. Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here. You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages. Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the New Living Testament (NLT). 2. Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom. If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now. He knows it. You are forgiven. Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out. a prayer: Thank You for meeting me, LORD. I welcome you into this place. Please prepare my heart Jehovah. Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight. 3. 29th Strategy. Called to Evaluate Our Choices © RR&BC, LLC 2020
1. Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore." 2. Remember him before the lights of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky. 3. Remember him before your legs — the guards of your house — start to tremble; and before your shoulders — the strong men — stoop. Remember him before your teeth — your few remaining servants — stop grinding; and before your eyes — the women looking through the windows — see dimly. 4. Remember him before the door to life's opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint. 5. Remember him before you become fearful of failing and worry about danger in the street; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire. Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral. 6. Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don't wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. 7. For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 NLT 4. Thank God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for meeting you today. We, Robyn and Biff Thank you for coming today. Please leave your first name and last initial. Any comments even a period says you were here. Any response is a blessing to this community. And remember, You are prayed for every day at 8:00 am EST And I will be back here tomorrow, typing, reading, preparing, or commenting. I hope I will see you here too. ~Robyn Scripture quotations marked NLT are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation,copyright©1996,2004.Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Carol Stream, Illinois 60188.
