Be happy, enjoy God's gifts. Ecc 3:12

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Yesterday we talked about Ecclesiastes 3:11. We are created in God's image therefore we have a spiritual thirst, we have eternal value, and nothing but the eternal God can truly satisfy us. God has built in us a restless yearning for the kind of perfect world that can only be found in his perfect rule.

Solomon continues to write: Ecclesiastes 3:12 "So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can."

To be happy and do good are worthy goals for life, but we can pursue them in the wrong way. God wants us to enjoy life. When we have the proper view of God, we discover that real pleasure is found in enjoying whatever we have as gifts from God, not in what we accumulate.

Ecc 3:13 "And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God."

How is your view of God? Is it help me prosper or may I serve you and enjoy the rewards you, God, give back? May all you do today be for God and in God's favor. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
