"So remember your Creator while you are still young, before those dismal days and years come when you will say, 'I don't enjoy life."

We walk closely with God from the very beginning of our lives, as well as all throughout. Why? Because one day we will be old and a life without God will end in futility, emptiness, loneliness, and hopelessness. But a life with God allows us to enjoy life more than ever presently, as well as handle the coming "dismal days and years" of trouble ahead -- when sickness, energy loss, disabilities, loneliness, mental challenges, etc, come to roost. Additionally, a n intimate relationship with God brings a satisfying peace and comfort because we are constantly with our best friend while holding onto the hope of eternal life and the promise of new beginnings from God.

Contrary to how we usually think and feel, life is short. Learn to be wise. Make God a number one priority in your life each for a huge return in the end.
