It is another Friday, and that means a new word for Five Minute Friday--this one is simply: Now.
AND GO
Now.
What do you think of when you think of the word NOW? Does it have a sense of urgency? I mean when we are young we know that when our parents say "Come here NOW!" That means, get your butt in gear and move. Or when you are in a race, you might here--and "NOW!" and you rush to start. Now means to do immediately. It's an action word.
One of my most favorite scriptures uses the word "Now"...
Remember NOW your Creator, in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come..." Ecclesiastes 12:1
Why? Why the admonishment to remember NOW?
Well, if you think about it, our lives are fairly untroubled in our youth. So if we build a relationship with our God when we are free from a lot of the world's troubles, it will fill our tank. Fill our tank for us to pull on later when we are older and the "difficult days come..."
I love to look on all HE has created and ponder all the time and care involved. I like to think on how much He cared to make the Earth perfect--and how much more He cares about man. These moments of peace definitely help when trouble comes.
AND STOP

I hope you and yours have a most wonderful weekend! On Sunday I will be working hard on a new venture for me that sort of just popped up out of nowhere. I look forward to sharing it with you, and giving you a run down of other things that are going on. Think of Sunday as being a catch up! And of course, we have the upcoming TEN FAVORITE REVIEW ITEMS from 2016. That will be fun to share with you!

Happy Birthday, Lisa!!! I am a little jealous about you going to see Rogue One, but mostly excited (from one Star Wars fan to another). Such a beautiful post and great scripture!! I love what you said about our tanks filling in faith when we're young and innocent of the world and the hardship it can at times bring. Thank you for sharing!

Happy Birthday! Visiting as your FMF neighbor. That was a nice way of relating the urgency of now with preparedness of filling our spiritual tanks while young. Kids have lots of room to learn without the baggage we adults allow to be carried. Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy, Holy New Year! Follow the Son!
