THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Employee: "The stress of my job is tremendous! I have migraines, my blood pressure is going through the roof, I can't sleep at night, and I have an ulcer."
Friend: "So, why don't you quit?"
Employee: "What? And lose this great health plan?"

ECCLESIASTES 12
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
KJV

After an exhaustive study of life: its benefits and problems; Solomon came to a conclusion.
That conclusion is that we should "Fear God, and keep His commandments: for THIS is the WHOLE DUTY of man!"
Life is "vanity" (unsatisfactory, unfulfilling) until its END.
And the END is only satisfactory if we have surrendered to Christ.
Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived tells us this.
OH! There is SO MUCH to learn in this world! (verse 12)
But learn this ONE THING:
REAL LIFE is found in reverence and obedience to God!
This is the "whole duty," or ultimate obligation of man!
It is God to Whom we owe the debt of having life.
It is God to Whom we shall answer for the living of life.
It is God Who shall decide our eternal existence!
Let us then live REAL LIFE!
To do that, we live it FOR God!
THAT is the greatest "health plan" in this world!
Love ya,
