A GIFT OF GOD TO YOU
Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work – this is a gift of God. Ecclesiastes 5:19
Enjoyment does not come from possessions or riches; nor does it come from companionship, popularity and fame; or from the approval and admiration of others. Enjoyment comes by knowing the living God and taking everything from His hand with thanksgiving, whether it is pain or pleasure. That is the gift of God!
When you discover the richness of life that God has provided, you will not worry about the past or about the future. This is because you will be richly involved with the blessings of life right now. Matthew 6:31 says, “Therefore do not worry, saying, what shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall we wear” because God gives you enough grace to enjoy life each day at a time.
It is good to know the living God and to know that He controls what comes into your life. He expects you to make choices; to rejoice in the wisdom of a Father’s heart and richly enjoy what is handed you day-by-day. That is the secret of enjoying life. God will keep you occupied with gladness of heart and He will give you the gift of enjoying life. Understand that knowing God and living under the direction of the Holy Spirit are the only ways to enjoy life!
Prayer
I thank you Lord the gift of life given unto me today. I know that you have designed that I live each day of my life in constant blessing. Lord, it is so good to know you and be given the freedom to enjoy all that you provide for me day by day in Jesus’ name. Amen.
