Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NKJV)
ECCLESIASTES 12 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Thought For The Week: Picture this: You’re caught in life’s whirlwind, constantly spinning but getting nowhere. Success, wealth, and those shiny worldly pleasures seem like the answer… until they leave you feeling hollow. But in the chaos, a whisper cuts through the noise. God is calling you to something more, something that outshines the fleeting thrills of this world.
Now, fearing God isn’t about cowering in a corner, paralyzed by dread. It’s about standing in awe of His breathtaking power, His mind-blowing wisdom, His unwavering love. It’s about recognizing that your life isn’t your own, but a precious gift from the Creator of all things.
When you truly respect God like this, that’s when you’ll find the wisdom and purpose you’ve been craving. It’s like the whole universe finally clicks into place.
Think about it: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” That’s the heart of living for God. So, have you made space for Him in the chaos? What if you laid down your plans and ambitions, and simply asked Him to lead the way? Perhaps if you made that decision it would allow Him to guide your path.
Prayer: Most Holy Father, please help us to live according to the ultimate calling; You have placed upon our lives. Grant us the wisdom and strength to fear You and keep Your commandments. May our lives be an expression of You love and grace; as we seek to honor You in all that we do. Amen.
