Easter

Remember the Creator in the days of your youth.....

Message today was particularly significant, and coming off the back of what i heard at SYG yesterday, seemed particularly poignant. Oh and worship was wonderful. Both yesterday and today. Perhaps it's the style, or perhaps it was just the spirit, but i just felt so wonderful, just singing and praising the Lord. Not caring about what others think, not caring about my voice (i was admittedly singing a bit too high for my usual range) but just pouring it all out for him.

And yes, we're all young and we're all striving away, but who's to say? Death can take us at any time. The human body is so fragile, you don't have to take biology to know that, and really, the smallest thing, the slightest chink, can collapse an entire empire. Remember the story about "for the want of a nail"? So we can idealistically get the picture here.

Death comes quick and regardless, indiscriminate. Remember the story of the man who stored up wealth on earth, and told himself that he would build bigger granaries, then he could store up, and sit back and relax, and tell himself to enjoy life? And remember what the Lord said: "You fool! Today your life will be taken from you. Then who will be left to inherit all that you have built?"

Truly, i am priviledged. Some people have to work to pay their school fees, and even then, even if they all seem so far away in good ol' ACS (I), it's still good to remember, to remember that we have it far better than much people.

And even more so, to all are given freely, the gift of God! Eternal life through the resurrection of his son our Lord Christ Jesus. Freely given, freely received.

So fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
--Ecc 14:10
