God Will Bring Every Deed
Into Judgment
…Before the silver cord is snapped,
and the golden bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and
the wheel broken at the cistern, and the dust returns to the earth as it was,
and the breath returns to God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, says the
Teacher; all is vanity.
Besides being wise, the Teacher also
taught the people knowledge, weighting and studying and arranging many
proverbs. The Teacher sought to find pleasing words, and he wrote words of
truth plainly.
The sayings of the wise are like
goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings that are given by
one shepherd. Of anything beyond these, my child, beware. Of making many books
there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the
flesh.
The end of the matter; all has been
heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of
everyone. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every secret
thing, whether good or evil.
Life comes and goes too quickly.
Anyone with a grandchild and parents understands this. As you age, do not lose
your knowledge, do not lose your wisdom, and do not lose your belief in God.
Know that Jesus is your own Savior. If you step back you will see your
accomplishments, and know that God has been with you the whole time.
Significance is not found in the
number of our days, but in what our eternal God says about how we have used
them.
Life is short.
Live for God.
