My brother was back from Viet Nam and had borrowed Mother’s Corvair. (Did you know or remember that the trunk was in the front and the motor was in the back?) I’m four years younger and penniless and he has the dough. He opened the trunk and it was full of beer and ice. I thought to myself, I don’t know where you’re going with this, but I’m going with you. Youth has no sense and is easily led by others.
Does the Bible address this phenomenon? Glad you asked.
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
I attribute my survival to the grace of God. Did you have a similar experience? Give it some consideration.
