Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes is full of wisdom, and guidance. It is very hard for me to write my thoughts on it, because there is too many directions to go, too many truths to explore. However, in my estimation, one could skip to these last 2 verses and read all he needs to read. The entire book analyses life, pealing it apart at all layers. Yet these final two verses say it all: Fear God and keep his commandments. This is man's all.
One day you and I will be judged For it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
Everything we do, every thought we think, every direction we move in, every word we speak, every idle word, every idle thought, every sinful action, every lustful thought, every missed opportunity....in my years of life I already feel like I've messed it up beyond reconciliation. Therein lies the beauty of the blood of the Lamb...
Scripture Memory:
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary. who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
