WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday October 7 – October 13
Duty - Man as Provider

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 ESV

Solomon spoke about a topic this old soldier understands well: duty. When I took an oath as a U.S. Army officer, I solemnly swore that:

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Just as I had a solemn duty to our nation as an Army officer, we all have a serious duty to God to fear Him and keep His commandments. As Providers, it is also our duty to provide those we love and lead with a compelling example of reverencing God with humble obedience.

Solomon understood that life is brief and that every person will stand before a just God and give a complete account of everything they did in life. He goes so far as to call it “the end of the matter.” This is the final summation of life. Every human being will stand in judgment before our Creator—even those of us who are believers. Paul confirms that fact in the New Testament: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Cor. 5:10).
