DCLM Daily Manna 2023: DCLM Daily Manna 17 July 2024: The Essence of Living

Text: Ecclesiastes 12:10-14 (KJV)

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
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.

KEY VERSE: 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.”

Many people have pondered the purpose of living since Aristotle asked the fundamental question of life’s essence. For Aristotle, the essence of life is service to others and to do good work. For St Augustine of Hippo, it is happiness. For the talented French actress Emmanuelle Riva, it is love. To freedom fighters, in the like of Jose Martin, it is liberty. For many people, what makes life worth living is possessing material things and achieving career goals. Understanding the essence of living is essential because it gives meaning and purpose to existence.

In our text, the preacher examines words which are acceptable by men, good books, and written works of philosophers and wise men and concludes that the fear of God and keeping His commandments was the whole duty of man.

It is doubtful that God would have left a vital subject like the essence of life to subjective and personal interpretations. Besides, it is myopic for man to look for the meaning of his life from within. If you strip a man of the material things that give him pleasure, he is disconnected from his drive. This is why the essence of living cannot be sought from possessing material things. The answer can only be fully provided by the Creator. Acts 17:28 states that it is in Christ we live, move and exist. There is a difference between existence and living. Those outside Christ can, therefore, not discern the true purpose or essence of living.

The purpose of our living is to fear God, obey His commandments, worship Him and serve Him with all our heart. True enough, ‘as to the making of books, there is no end’, but the fear of God and reverence for Him is the beginning of wisdom. We must live only to please God and fulfil His purpose daily.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Life lived outside God is vain.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 1-4
