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).
Our duty is to rejoice each day and be glad in it. When we allow ourselves to; accept duties that ensure failure; priorities that retard our spiritual development or engage in behaviors that subject us to negativity, especially those that block us from prayer, then we are violating God’s will. As surely as the sun rises, these activities will create undesirable consequences that hurt us or others.
Our duty to be joyful and glad will neutralize the negative words, thoughts and deeds that rob us of our joy and peace. We must always manifest gratitude and peace, if we are to walk in the garden God created for us.
Just a closer walk with thee, Father.
Walking with clarity
