Have you been wondering how to serve God in your youth? Or asking yourself what you can do for God between school, homework, studying, work, sports and so on. You’re not alone, my precious friend. but why you should serve God when you still young.
The first reason you should serve God in your youth is presented in Proverbs 22:6 (Start a youth out on his way; even when he grows old he won’t depart from it.”). This verse shows that how you are raised, how you behave, and the habits you form in your youth have an influence on who you will be as an adult. This influence can be either positive or negative depending on how you’re living now. When you serve God in your youth, you’re preparing yourself to live righteously as an adult as well.
Secondly, you should serve God in your youth because God knows what is best for you. As a teenager, and even into adulthood, you have no way of knowing or even comprehending what is best for your life. How could you? You don’t know what possibilities the future holds for you or how each decision you make will impact those possibilities. But God does. Isaiah 55: 8-9 says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.’ This is the Lord’s declaration. ‘For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
One last reason you should strive to serve the Lord in your youth is because of the simple joy of serving God. Romans 15:13 says, Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Never should you condemn yourself, stand up and rejoice in the lord, serve him, worship him and glorify his love towards you.
