What If?
What If? Robert Holloway 9 Views • 3 years ago

Ecclesiastes 12:1-7

Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.” 
Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky. 
Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop.
Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly.
Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades.
Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint.
Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry about danger in the streets; before your hair turns white like an almond tree in bloom, and you drag along without energy like a dying grasshopper, and the caperberry no longer inspires sexual desire.
Remember him before you near the grave, your everlasting home, when the mourners will weep at your funeral.
Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken.
Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. 
For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.

Audio recording of YA'AQOV known as James with music #Biblemeditation #biblereading YA`AQOV, a servant of YAHUAH and of the ADONAI YAHUSHA HA'MASHIACH, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your belief works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of YAH, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in belief, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of YAHUAH. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower thereof falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which YAHUAH has promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of YAH: for YAHUAH cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of YAHUAH. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and abundance of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.But whoso looks into the perfect Torah of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be observant, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's observance is vain. Pure observance and undefiled before YAH and the Father is this, To visit את eth-the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. BRETHREN of mine, not in respect of persons guard the belief of our ADONAI YAHUSHA HA'MASHIACH of glory. For if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that wears the fine clothing, and say unto him, Sit here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand there, or sit here by my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not YAHUAH chosen the poor of this world rich in belief, and heirs of the Kingdom which he has promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? If ye fulfil the royal mitsvah according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbour as yourself, ye do well: But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the Torah as transgressors. For whosoever shall guard את eth-the whole Torah, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not break wedlock, said also, Do not kill. Now if you do not break wedlock, yet if you kill, you have become a transgressor of the Torah. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the Torah of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has showed no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment. What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has belief, and have not works? can belief save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit? Even so belief, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, You have belief, and I have works: show me your belief without your works, and I will show you my belief by my works. YA`AQOV (JAMES) CH 1 & 2:1-18
