Remember . . . your Grand Creator in the days of your youth.—Eccl. 12:1.

 

In today’s world, that is not always easy. However, it is by no means impossible. Jehovah wants you to enjoy a truly successful and satisfying life. With God’s help, you can succeed, not just in your youth but throughout your life. To illustrate, consider a lesson we can learn from the Israelites’ conquest of the Promised Land. When the Israelites neared the Promised Land, God did not command them to sharpen their fighting skills or train for war. (Deut. 28:1, 2) Rather, he told them that they needed to obey his commandments and trust in him. (Josh. 1:7-9) From a human viewpoint, that advice would make no sense! But it was the very best advice, for Jehovah gave his people victory after victory over the Canaanites. (Josh. 24:11-13) Yes, obedience to God calls for faith, but that faith always leads to success. This truth does not change with the passing of time. It is just as valid today. w18.12 25 ¶3-4

Serving Jehovah in the days of youth is not a senseless pursuit. We are successful because we do follow Jehovah who wants us to have best life ever.

As we near the new world, Satan is distracting us as never before (social media, technology, man-made solutions) Only Jehovah and Jesus have our everlasting happiness as their concern. Therefore we need to think long-term, and as (Col 3:2) says...
Keep your minds fixed on the things above, not on the things on the earth.
