TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | ECCLESIASTES 7-12

“Remember . . . Your Grand Creator in the Days of Your Youth”

Remember your Grand Creator by using your abilities to serve him while you are young

A young man stands erect and an old man stands with the aid of a cane
  • Many youths have the health and vigor to tackle exciting and challenging assignments
  • Youths should use their time and energy in God’s service before old age limits them

Solomon used poetic language to describe the challenges of old age

  • Women look out a window
    Verse 3: “The ladies looking out the windows find it dark”
    Diminished vision

  • Women sing
    Verse 4: “The daughters of song grow faint”
    Diminished hearing

  • Caper berries
    Verse 5: “The caper berry bursts”
    Diminished appetite
