when we talk of being a youth,there is no specific age bracket really.Even notable old men of God still call themselves youth.I would say,all those that are still single are still a youth(usually age 13-30).That means if we would agreed on that,then majority of the world popuplation falls in this bracket.We then have to come to the realisation that the period of youth or time of being a youth is really essential and a major determinat to how your future would be.
So many people in the bible have lived through this age.so many had a wonderful youth while a couple had a disastrous youth.Remember deniah ,Samson,Aaron two sons,Eli's two sons,even Samuel's son all thes ones do not have a wonderful youth.
Deniah,Jacob's only daughter was raped due to failure to listen to her father's instructions all the name of "I want to see the outside world"
Samson a vibrant promise from God.a chosen deliverer of the Israelites, ended up on Delilah lab,all because he could control his emotion.he eventually lost his power,though was given another chance but still ended up with with Philistines
Aaron's two sons rebel against moses,Eli two sons were nothing to write about.Thank God we could remember David,Daniel,Shadrach ,Meshach, Abednego, Esther ,Philip's daughters and many others .all these ones actually lived well during their youths no wonder ,their end was great .
David ,a man after God's heart was so obedient and always remember to ask God for directions, even when he fails too,and the consequence come,he always turn back to God to ask for forgiveness
Daniel,Shadrach ,Mesharch and Abegnego were just perfect set of friends who found themselves in a strange land,and yet they still held their stand.
Esther,during her youth did not involve in immoral act instead she channelled her beauty in a right way and that brought deliverance to the jews.
Philip's daughters were just a great influence during their youth,they were virgins and could see visions.What of our perfect example Our lord Jesus Christ, he lived well during his youth.remember the time he was in the temple
Luke 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.)
in conclusion ,I want to you to check out this poem below,remember your youths can still be revived and your future great if you can just give God a chance.
Young and vibrant minds whose thought are big
A generation of inquisitive teens and twentys
wanting to explore the world at all cost
without a thought of what once happen at the cross
So many years are spent in pursing our cause
without asking what God's plans are and what he want from us
We held on firmly to our idiosyncrasy
without a thought of what once happen at the cross
We struggle so hard to fill the emptiness and the boredom,
We look unto earthly pleasures to fill the void within
Even thought we are short of peace but we are already in it
without a thought of what once happen at the cross
At the cross Christ was crucified symbolising the freedom of mankind
He wants you all to make him ist place in our heart
He rilly want us to"Remember our Creator in the days of our youth
Or else when the evil days come and the years draw nigh
We won't say, I have no pleasure in my cause
after a great future has been wasted
Remember to share to a friend after reading. God bless.
Faith
