We should remember our Creator, looking to Him for grace and strength. Not just in time of need, but we should see it as always a time of need, especially for Him and the things of Him and for Him, through the good and through the sad.
Daily seeking Him for His will in our lives, with our whole heart and all that is within us, to make His desires become ours.
We are not our own, we have no right to ourselves. God made you and I; He is our Creator. He made us that we may be happy, but we can be happy only in him. And as He created us, so Jesus preserves you and I. The Lord feeds, clothes, upholds us.
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in themâ€â€” Ecclesiastes 12:1
He has made us capable of knowing, loving, and serving Him in this world, and of enjoying Him in his own glory for ever. And when we had undone ourselves by sin, He sent his SON to redeem you and I by his precious blood and the Lord sends his Spirit to enlighten, convince, and draw us away from childishness, from vain and trifling, as well as from sinful, pursuits.
