Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. 14 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
We have come to the close of Ecclesiastes and are faced with the simple truth that we already had when we began our journey. Or did we? We can get so focused on the meaning of life and our ultimate purpose and how to live a more robust life that we lose focus of the simple truths of life. We can never be truly happy unless we live out these two verses. How can we have a full life unless we have a deep relationship with God? How can we have a deep relationship with God if we don’t obey His commandments? Meaning and purpose start with obedience!
