“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all (duty).” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, 'It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.'
“Serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews” (Acts 20:19).
“Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.” Jeremiah 32:17
The prodigal son is a biblical example of a man who said, “enough is enough”. Nobody chased him away from his home. Nobody taught him what to do, but on his own, he went to his father and asked for his portion of the wealth. The wealth belonged to his father and not to him. He had the guts and boldness to ask for it. He created his own problems and when the problems overwhelmed him, he started looking everywhere for help. His situation brought him down to the level where he could not even eat the food that was given to swine. What a shame!
