Ecclesiastes 1:1 \u201cThe words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.”

You may wonder, to what kind of truth can be drawn from the title that Solomon gives himself? It is interesting to see the order of the title in his description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost he calls himself the Preacher. He also repeats this title in verse 12. Now I don\u2019t know about you, but if I were a king, I think that is what I would want everyone to know me by. But Solomon realized what many Christians fail to understand. Above any job description that comes before our name ,we are first and foremost a Preacher. You may say, \u201cI\u2019m not a preacher, I\u2019m a young lady\u201d, or \u201c God hasn\u2019t called me into the ministry.\u201d That is where our thinking is flawed. If you are a Christian, then your life is preaching something. Everywhere you go, every person that you come into contact with, and every situation that you\u2019re involved in, will be preaching some kind of message. Teenager, that is why the authority in your life begs and pleads with you to stay right with God. Because when you do your own thing, your life is preaching to the lost world and to those that are coming up after you- a rebellious, ungodly attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to a Christian school from kindergarten to graduation. My only exposure to the public school was the summer that I was 15 and took driver\u2019s education. As you can imagine, it was quite a culture shock to what I was used to. One day after coming out of class, my grandma that was visiting from out of town picked me up. She noticed that I was kind of discouraged, as I began to tell her how everyone mocked and scorned because I was a Christian. I\u2019ll never forget the advice she gave me, \u201cKeep your head up, your life is the only Bible that some people will ever read.\u201d That advice encouraged me, and by God\u2019s grace and a bold witness I was able to lead two of my fellow class mates to Christ. That never would have happened if my life was preaching a rebellious attitude or a passive view of my Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
