Good Morning Garden

It cannot be your duty to do anything that is beyond your reach or your strength at the moment.

It cannot be your duty to do anything that sacrifices your own integrity or your own spiritual development.

It cannot be right to be hurried, or sad, or discouraged, or angry, or resentful, or antagonistic, under any circumstances.

If you have not time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this the the whole duty of man (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

The real question is “what is truly beyond our strength and reach”. There is much beyond our reach and strength when we act as mere humans without being attuned to God. But when we are following God’s will in thought, word and deed, all things become possible. Then the message above fully applies. It simply means that when we follow God’s way, we can accomplish all that is good for us without all the negative circumstances listed above. It reaffirms that if we are too hurried to pray, too weak to maintain our integrity or too negative in our reactions to the world, then we will make time for sickness and trouble. It is with God’s help and guidance that we overcome the pressures of the world and find peace, joy and wellness in our lives. If we respect and obey God, we will know our duty clearly and will be given that which we need to discharge our duties faithfully and fully in a way that is loving and joyful.
