This morning I again had to reflect on how facing death
can change a person's view point.
Up until we are faced with death, we only think of the
things we can acquire and our own comforts and pleasures.
But having faced death a few years ago I see that these things
are meaningless.
What I face after death is far more important than the fame,
fortune or accumulations I might now acquire.
Is it any wonder that Solomon [The wisest man who ever lived.]
said:
"It is useless, useless, said the Philosopher.
Life is useless, all useless."
(Ecclesiastes 1;2 GNT)
And of course this is true of the "natural" or normal person.
But Solomon does come to the point when he concludes:
"After all this, there is only one thing to say:
Have reverence for God, and obey his commands,
because this is all that we were created for. God
is going to judge everything we do, whether good
or bad, even things done in secret."
(Ecclesiastes 12:13,14 GNT)
