The End Of The Matter

Ecclesiastes 12:13  

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: 

Fear God, and keep his commandments: 

for this is the whole duty of man."

        Some, say that they would climb a ladder to heaven, if that was the only way to get there. At least these souls, would put in some effort, however; eventually ending up unsuccessful from the very start.  All who has heard God's word, knows that there is only one way to get to heaven. My Friend that is to serve God and constantly strive upward no matter what happens along the way. Truly, that is all we can do in life. The rest is up to God, for we will eventually be lifted to heaven by His strength and not by our own.

        It is really quite simple. In the end, we aren’t in control of everything. All we can do while on this earth is what we are called to do and to have faith in God. The rest is up to Him. I find the same simplicity at the very end of the book of Ecclesiastes after King Solomon had taught his readers all there was to know. Solomon wrote, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Eccl. 12:13). Man has a duty to serve God that’s our purpose in life. I find that this clear and concise concept is one we need to come back to over and over again. 

        Amen!
