The Bottom Line: Fear & Obey

Remember God before adversity comes because when it arrives it will be too late. Remembering means focusing on what God is like to the point where you hope in Him, prefer Him, and trust His way above your own. Ecclesiastes is God's Word, and the Preacher is reliable. Wisdom is like a goad (moving us when our flesh is resisting) and a nail (sticking in our minds). Don't go beyond the Scriptures. It is very simple: fear and obey God because Judgment Day is coming.
