Man's Duty To God - Ecclesiastes 12: 13

'Let us hear' seems so simple to do but how often is our eardrums so dull as if not concerned whether we do hear better be sure before God calls for a cull God always looks for a conclusion He brings out the facts before our eyes making us consider the whole matter for He has in store a heavenly prize When we read the words 'fear God' what does it bring to our mind? is it a cringing fear or a holy reverence? God urges us to recognise He's holy kind God has given us directives for life these are for our good if we obey clearly God seeks honesty and truth for His glory and honour, He seeks daily All of this God calls to all his creation for this is the absolute whole duty of man obey His commandments with a full heart receiving blessings untold within God's clan ("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

I am thinking now of Prov 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom". I choose to think it means holy reverence. I like your words "He's holy kind". And yes, his directives are for our good. I enjoyed reading your words, Gordon. Blessings to you ~ John
