Life unfolds in Phases. There is a phase when you are young, there is a phase when you are middle aged. There is a phase when you are old and a phase when you are very old. No one can prevent traveling through such phases, but you can determine, in partnership with God, what you do with each phase of your life.
When you are young, you are able to do as you like and go wherever you want; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands and others will direct you and take you where they want you to go. (John 21:18 TLB)
Now that you are young, you can decide how you will live your life. Young people should be ready to live their lives positively.
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 in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh, for childhood and youth are vanity. (Eccl 11:9-10 NKJ)
