Fear God and Keep His Commandments

Eccl 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.

KJV

 
 

What a contrast to how most people think today! We live in a world where it's every man for himself. Everyone looks out for themselves. There are some people who try to be helpful to others, but very few think much about the fear of God. This verse tells us that it is the whole duty of man to fear and obey God. Is that what I'm doing? Is that what you're doing?

 
 

Lord, help me to remember that I have been placed here on earth to bring glory to You and for no other reason. Help me to live that out in everyday life. Help me not to be selfish. Help me to give of myself for your glory and for the good of others so that my life would point other people to You.
