Life is Short: How to Make the Most of Life Biblically
;
Introduction:
The message this morning became personal this week as I turned 48 years old on Tuesday.
I know some of you are saying I am still young while others are saying I am old.
I definitely realize I am not a spring chicken anymore.
Several years ago at a young adult retreat, I tried to play basketball with some of the kids.
I quickly learned I am not 20 years old anymore.
I am slow, out of shape, and I ended up having to have knee surgery because I tore my meniscus.
How in the world did I age so quickly?
Everyday is a reminder that life is short.
Solomon speaks about the aging process but more importantly the way to make the most of life so that when you stand before your Creator at the end of your life that you will look back and you did not waste it.
I read an Article this week of “How to Ruin Your Life in Your Twenties” by the ministry Desiring God.
Do whatever you want
Live outside your means
Feed an Addiction
Run with Fools
Believe this life is all about you
Live for immediate gratification
Avoid Accountability
God does not wish that we would ruin our live.
God desires that we will be the people that He designed us to be.
The Command That Will Save Your Life, vs. 1a
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth
Remember or to keep in mind for consideration
To consider God continually while you are young.
How do I consider God?
I want you to think about that question as we move along in this message.
a.
I want you to think about that question as we move along in this message.
I want you to see the need for this command.
In doing so, I believe you will see a great eternal importance in keeping with this command.
Your Life Will Digress Physically and Mentally Then Come to an End, vs. 1b-8
Remember the Creator before the effects of the aging process debilitate your life
When the evil days come not- evil days are the days when age has taken its toll on your life
Nor the years draw nigh- where you will find no pleasure in them
Illustrate the aging of my grandfather.
Remember the Creator before the of death, vs. 2
2. Remember the Creator before the of death, vs. 2When the light be not darkened- death
a.
When the light be not darkened- death
When the light be not darkened- death
When the light be not darkened- death
The clouds return after the rain.
Remember the Creator before the physical effects of age take hold, vs. 3-4
Keepers of the house shall tremble- the hands
Strong men shall bow themselves- the legs
Grinders cease because they are few- the loss of teeth
Look out the windows be darkened- eye sight
Doors shall shut in the streets when the sound of grinding is low- loss of hearing
Rise up at the voice of the bird- rising early
Music shall be brought low
Remember the Creator before the mental effects of age take hold, vs. 5
Afraid of that which is high- heights
Fear shall be in the way- traveling
Almond tree shall flourish- blossom with white hair
Grasshopper shall be a burden- instead of leaping, it drags itself along
Desire shall fail- sexual vitality
Because life is precious but will come to an end, vs. 5f-7
Man goes to his long home- place of the dead
Mourners in the streets
Silver cord be loosed- spine
Golden bowl- the head
Pitcher- the heart
Wheel broken- digestive tract
Man then will return to dust from which God made man.
Life is not to be meaningless, vs. 8
Making the Most of Your Life is A Life with God in the Center of It., vs. 13-14
The
The Making of the Wholeness of Man, vs. 13
Fear God- reverence Him
F- Faith in His existence

God loves us
A- Awe at His Majexty, Wisodom and Wonder

We will be judged before our Creator, vs. 14
Conclusion:
Making the Most of your life now has an eternal impact.
Put Jesus in the center of your life.
Fear Him and pursue His principles for your life.
