What is our main thing or our “whole duty” Amy? “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) Ecclesiastes may seem a strange book, but because of the source of wisdom it comes from, it’s very important to us. Solomon prayed this prayer, “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people… God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire…I have made you king, therefore WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE WILL BE GIVEN YOU.” (2 Chron. 1:10-12)
Many times we are tempted to chase “after the wind”, looking for satisfaction in the wrong places. If that’s what we do, we’re living lives of arrogance and our passion for God can become nothing more than a passion to have God make our search for more self-importance a successful one. That’s why such emphasis is placed on reminding us of our “WHOLE DUTY” Amy to,
FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS…
