Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.
-Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (NLT)
WHAT EVERYONE’S DUTY IS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have any secrets that you’ve been keeping?
Are you struggling with reverence for God and obeying?
Everyone’s duty is to fear God and obey his commands
Are you living up to his standards and demands?
God will judge us for everything we do
He sees our heart and all our rues
Everything is naked and exposed to him
Embrace humility so you can be redeemed.

Duty is defined as a legal or moral obligation, a responsibility. It is a task or action someone is required to perform. Most of our duties come with the roles we play in life. Our duties are like boundaries that protect our relationships and lead us to progress and blessings in life. I was a mother since 28 years ago and was bound by the privilege to take care of my son. My obligation as a mother is to ensure that my son grew up in the love and knowledge of God and his will. I also have the duty to provide physical and emotional stability in his life.
The bible says that everyone’s duty is to fear God and obey his commands because God will judge all things, including our secrets.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to be responsible.
REFLECTION
What duties in life are you struggling with?
