Blog
Welcome to the footnote¹ blog. Our goal each day is to examine a verse and give a short summary in commentary form or simply an encouraging note to help you remain faithful to God throughout the week. Either way we hope that the footnote¹ blog will comfort you through God's word and give you a better understanding of His will.

Remember Your Creator
Wednesday, May 17, 2017
“Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, ‘I have no pleasure in them’”. (Ecclesiastes 12.1, ESV)¹

¹How can you remember your Creator in the days of your youth?
- By choosing to read and study your Bible.
- By choosing good friends and avoiding those who practice wickedness.
- By choosing to stand up for God when no one else will.
- By choosing to pray and be thankful to God throughout the day.
- By choosing to love your enemies instead of wanting to fight them.
- By choosing to serve others, be kind to them, and respectful to all.
- By choosing to obey your teachers and other authority figures.
- By choosing to listen to our parents, honor them, and obey their commands.
There are many other things a young person can do to remember his or her Creator; however, we must maintain these things or else as we grow and experience sin and its deceptive motive, we have no desire for the things of God.
