In Ecclesiastes, chapter twelve, verses one through seven, beginning with verse one to two, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain.” Remember, in the Bible, it always implies action, as in Genesis nineteen, verse twenty-nine, when God remembered Abraham because He became involved in his life for good. Therefore, remembering our Creator means acting in the way life intended us to act when He created us. He has given us life and the opportunities that come with youth.
Believers can remember God only with the help of the Holy Spirit, as in Ephesians four, verse twenty-four, “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness;” And we must do so before death comes. However, in verses three to seven, it gives a dramatic picture of the aging process of the physical body, leading to death. Believers can be comforted, however, by the fact that the inner person can still be as in Second Corinthians four, verse sixteen, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”
The theme verses depict how a person should remember God daily while living here. These verses illustrate the significance of how the body changes from youth to old age. Many people fail to manage their bodies properly over time, leading to a decline in strength and unhealthy eating habits due to inadequate physical maintenance. Then, later in life, they fight to stay healthy and fit to survive.
