Focus Like a Laser on GOD and His Commandments

8/15/2013

Read Walk Thru the Bible's, Daily Devotion at One Place for a deep, insightful and peace-producing study of Ecclesiastes 12.

In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly. The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is:

fear God and keep His commandments,

because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

It does seem like wisdom is found in the simple.

I read this happily recently...

Wisdom: "...Because God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living. For he created all things that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome, and there is no destructive poison in them; and the dominion of Hades is not on earth. For righteousness is immortal. For God created man for incorruption, and made him in the image of his own eternity, but through the devil's envy death entered the world, and those who belong to his party experience it. Wisdom 1: 13 - 15; 2: 23 - 24

I know, a simple line is often so very lovely.

That is so beautiful, Katy! Aye, those who belong to his party will experience it; horrible death! It belongs to the ancient serpent, and his seduction beckons to us; he lurks around every corner.

Hold Fast in His Love!
