Week 46 Day 5: Fear God and Keep His Commands
Question：What Is the Teacher’s Conclusion in His Search for the Meaning of Life?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- Both the righteous and the wise, along with their deeds, are in God’s hands.
- The same fate of death comes to everyone: the righteous and the wicked, the clean and the unclean.
- The fastest do not always win the race, the strongest do not always prevail in battle, the wise do not always have food, the intelligent do not always gain wealth, and the skillful do not always find favor. What happens to everyone depends on the time and circumstances.
- Wisdom is better than strength, yet a wise person may be despised, and no one may listen to what they say.
- A little foolishness can ruin wisdom and honor.
- The words of the wise bring grace, but the lips of fools consume them.
- Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years of decline arrive.
- Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - Much of chapter 10 uses proverbs to reaffirm that wisdom is better than foolishness. What practical significance do these teachings have for us?
- Identity - Fearing God and faithfully keeping His commandments are both the duty of all mankind and a way to gain wisdom. What does fearing God mean to me? In what circumstances do I find it difficult to fear Him?
