Reflection on Ecc 12:14

God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.

This is the last verse of the Book of Ecclesiastes. Realize that everything you do is filmed by invisible cameras and stored in your soul, and it is all seen by angels too. Not only the holy angels but also the evil ones see everything, and will accuse you before God’s judgment seat. Modern technology with ubiquitous cameras monitors and records many human actions and preserves them as evidence. This human technology is mere child’s play in comparison with the spiritual principles and laws that apply in the spiritual world. Be aware that you are not hidden anywhere; God sees you everywhere. He even sees into your heart and examines your thoughts and feelings. Nothing is hidden from Him. He has given you freedom. When you do good, you show gratitude to God and His reward awaits you. When you do evil, God is grieved by the evil done, and He often allows suffering in your life to make you stop and begin to take care of your soul. God does not want you to get on the downward path of lies and evil, lest you should be condemned at the Last Judgment along with the evil which has already become part of you and at the root of which is the spirit of lies and death. Realize that everything you do will be brought to light and, as Jesus said, “There is nothing covered that will not be revealed.” Everything, all your works, will be brought into judgment by God.

God in His love gave the most precious gift for you – His only begotten Son – that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. We were not redeemed with silver or gold, but with the blood of the Son of God! We were bought with the greatest price. Consider how precious your soul is that God sacrificed His only Son Jesus Christ on the cross for it. True wisdom is to be mindful of the end; to be mindful of death, God’s judgment and eternity.
