"MAY 8"

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. - ECCLESIASTES 12:1 KJV

Right now is one of the best times of your life. You are young and strong, unafraid of the future, and eager to experience all that life will bring. Now is the time to remember your Creator and thank Him for everything He has given you. Now is the time to enjoy yourself, sing His praises, and keep His commandments.
You know how you thank your mom when she gives you your favorite food for dinner or takes you on a great vacation? You thank her with your whole heart and happily obey her rules.
The days she gives you brussels sprouts, you undoubtedly do not thank her-or take the garbage out without complaining. It works the same way in your relationship with God. Now, while things are going well, be lavish in your thanks, because it will be harder to do as life gets harder.

Father, thank You for the joys of life I see all around me today. Teach me now, while I am still young how to live in a way that pleases You.
