Divine Duty

There is an obligation in duty and only those duties that are divinely dispensed deserve allegiance. If that is true then the pursuit of such duties requires that one have this depository readily available to them lest they be found floundering. By logical necessity an absolute criteria must exist whose borders are carved outside of our thoughts and whose content is clearly attainable and self-evident or we must adopt, by the same logical necessity, a subjective chameleon that is in essence nothing more than a nihilistic slab.

What is even more interesting is to observe that once one has these duties identified, the impossibility of proper execution without Divine aid and transformation becomes immediately obvious. The ever-present cliché "No one is perfect" resonates loudly in duty's hall. This only intensifies the truth of our need of a Savior, one who can accomplish what duty demands and rescue us from ourselves. And what of those who deny duty’s existence?

When the objectiveness and absolutism of a Divinely ordered duty is placed as a doorpost to our human activity it, by its very nature, has no bias. It stands tall, lurking high above our heads, stamped eternally from generation to generation becoming the ‘I AM’ by which all things are examined.

All granite columns that anchor the gates stop all galloping steeds.
