Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, 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;  In contrast to the last two verses of chapter eleven, here Solomon offers advice instead of sarcasm to those who are young.  When is the best time to remember God, to look to the Creator instead of to the ways of the world?  From our youth on.  Some people say that when they are older they might follow God, but while they are young they don't want to miss out on the fun. We must remember what Solomon had just concluded about all the things the world chases after in the pursuit of happiness.  It all amounts to nothing.  The longer we wait to follow God, the more we have to be accountable for.  Now, I know that God forgives all sin for all time through our faith in Christ, but that doesn't mean that we are to see how many sins we can commit before turning to Christ.  In the next few verses, Solomon gives us some good reasons to remember God in our youth.  As we grow older, our physical abilities begin to fail us and we are less able to work for God.  In verse two, Solomon says, While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:  I believe Solomon was speaking of vision beginning to dim.  As we grow older, things just don't look as bright as they once did.  Also, the older we get, the more we seem to be afflicted by the weather.  It seems that the sky quickly clouds again after the rain, though it is no sooner for an older person than for a young person.  Verse three says, In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,  I believe Solomon paints a good picture of getting older.  Our arms and legs will begin to tremble as we exert ourselves, our teeth, or grinders will become few, and again our vision will dim.  We need to serve God in the strength of our youth, while our abilities are the greatest.
