Scripture Devotion
Twelve chapters of vapor, and the Teacher lands on four words: fear God, keep commandments.
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
Reflection
Ecclesiastes ends today. The costliest research project in Scripture — wealth, pleasure, wisdom, work, all tested, all vapor — files its final report in one sentence a child can memorize. Everything under the sun blows away; duty to the One above it doesn't. Paul closes Titus on the same beat: be careful to maintain good works. After all the philosophy, the deliverable is plain: fear God, keep the commandments, do the good works. The whole duty. Carry it into the weekend.
