The Duty of Man


Ecc. 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again”. The mundane things of life. The endless daily routine of doing the same thing over and over again. Some would say. I live a boring life, I get up, take a shower, eat breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, come home, eat supper, and get ready for the next day” We repeat the same routine the next day until the weekend, then there are the many “things” that need to be done around the house. Yes, it does appear at times that this is the cycle of life. What does it mean to live? How do we fulfill life’s joy in the repetition of life? “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” In the midst of endless things to do, our focus in life is to fear God, and keep trusting Him that He does all things well.
