Dumidilim ba ang buwan? Dumidilim ba ang araw? Dumidilim ba
ang mga bituin? Yes. Ang sinasabi ditto before the light of the sun and the
moon and the stars seem dim to you, as if rain clouds remain over you. In other
words, remember God before your vision deteriorates. Bago dumilim ang araw ,
ang buwan, ang mata, alalahanin na ang Diyos. Kung minsan lumabo ang mga mata
sa dami ng nakitang kasalanan, hindi na tuloy makabasa ngayon ng Bibliya. Kaya
sasabihin nung iba, hindi na ako
makapag-memorize ng mga verses, Malabo na kasi ang aking mata. Gusto nyo
ng Braille? Pwede namang kapain yan. Mga bulag nga nakakapagbasa kung talagang
gugustuhin. But when is the good time to remember the Lord? Before your vision
deteriorates.
Verse 3 (Ecclesiastes)—When the keepers of the house tremble
and the strong men stoop, when the grinder cease because they are few and those
looking through the window grow dim.
Remember the Lord before your body grows weak . Ginamitan
kasi ng talinghaga—“the keepers of the house tremble.” Ibig sabihin lang nun
bago kayo manginig-nginig at magkaroon ng arthritis at rayuma. Remember the
Lord before your tooth or your teeth decay. Nasa verse ba yun? Yes, “when the
grinder cease because they are few.” Yung pang-guya ay hindi na makanguya dahil
kumonti na nang kumonti at nalagas. Before your teeth decay and before your
eyesight fall. Anong sinabi dyan? “Those looking through the windows grow dim.”
So, nakikita po natin, before your body grows weak, before
your body grows weak, before your eyesight falls , remember God. Bago dumating
sa puntong yan, alalahanin ang Diyos.
(Ecclesiastes) Verse 4 When the doors to the street are
closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds but
all this songs grow faint.
