Ecclesiastes 12:6
Remember him [“your Creator, v.1] –
before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken.
This chapter includes such a picturesque description of old
age! In doing so, it makes me realize
the importance of remembering (and therefore heeding) God while I can actually
do something to honor and serve Him. I
want to love, honor and serve God before I tremble and stoop or loose my good
vision (v.3), before my hearing gets too bad (v.4), and before I lose my energy
(v.5). The day could come when I do not
have the physical ability to even leave my house so I want to do what I can
before that happens, before the “silver cord” to an active lifestyle is severed
and before the “golden bowl” of meaningful activity is broken. I want to remember my Creator in the days of
my youth (12:1).
