THE
DUTY OF MAN
Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A
husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the
duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and
also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility
is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s
responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study
them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything
for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many
creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he
is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with
stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!
However, there is time for everything. Don’t
get excited and get carried away in this world. Don’t forget your Creator for
he has a duty for you. Don’t wait when your limbs will tremble with age and
when your strong legs will become weak. Don’t wait when your lips will be
tightly closed while eating when your teeth are gone. Don’t wait when you will
be waken at dawn with the first note of the birds; but you yourself will be
deaf and tuneless with quavering voice. Don’t wait when you will be afraid of
heights and of falling. Don’t wait when you become a white-haired, withered old
man that drags himself. Don’t wait when the silver cord of life snaps and the
gold bowl is broken. Don’t wait when the pitcher is broken at the fountain and
the wheel is broken at the cistern. Don’t wait when the dust returns to the
earth as it was. Everything on earth is futile! All is vanity!
In conclusion, Ecclesiastes 12 vs. 13-14: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter; fear GOD and keep His commandment; for this is the whole duty of man.
For GOD shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether
it be good or whether it be evil. Whatever, a man sows that he shall reap.
While still on earth fear GOD and keep His commandments. If you claim to love
your creator, then keep His commandments for this is your duty to him. Kindly
share this piece with others. It is well with us!!!
