REMEMBER YOUR GRAND CREATOR!

JEHOVAH gives his servants strength to do his will. (Isaiah 40:28-31) This is true regardless of their age. But young people dedicated to God should especially want to use their youth and strength wisely. Therefore, they take to heart the counsel of "the congregator," King Solomon of ancient Israel. He urged: "Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of you young manhood, before the calamitous days proceed to come, or the years have arrived when you will say: 'I have no delight in them. ' " -Ecclesiastes 1:1; 2:1.

Solomon's admonition about remembering the Grand Creator during youth was first directed to young men and women of Israel. They were born into a nation dedicated to Jehovah. What about the children of dedicated Christians today? Surely, they should bear their Grand Creator in mind. If they do so, they will honor him and will benefit themselves. -Isaiah 48:17, 18.
