"Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to; take it all in. But remember you must give an account to God for everything."
Ecclesiastes 11:9
I thought this seemed like an appropriate verse for Saturday--the typical day of rest and fun.
I read all the way through the book of Ecclesiastes, and I loved it so much, but I can't deny that a lot of the verses would not have worked for my whole positive and encouraging theme that I am kind of going for. But I got to this one, and I thought it was perfect! Even with the last part, which in some translations uses the word "judgement" or "accountability." I thought it was still positive, because as long as you strive to make the best decisions and to live for Him, then the terms "judgement," "accountability," or "account" do not have to be negative words at all. Because, as always, if you live for Him, He will bless you.
Happy Saturday :)
