Day 186 – It is right and good to Enjoy Life.
Today’s Reading: Ecclesiastes 4 – 6
“Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.” Ecclesiastes 5:18.
Sometimes we just need to laugh and have fun. We work work work work, and at the end of the day feel completely too out of it to do anything. Yet, God didn’t just want us to work, He wanted us to enjoy His creation.
Even Solomon in all of his glory stepped back from what he was doing and took a good look at his life. He had everything he wanted, he was wise beyond his years, and yet he wasn’t satisfied. So, he contemplated the many mysteries, the coming and goings, and the one thing he realized beyond anything else is that it was GOOD to enjoy the time God has given him on the earth.
It is okay to work hard, but you must set time aside to relax and have fun, to enjoy what you worked for. Some believe Christians are fuddy duds and don’t know how to have fun, others think there’s more money to make and no time to have fun, but these are all man made ideas and the worship of someone else besides our God because Our God is fun!
God has given us a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to mourn, a time to dance, and definitely a time to work and a time to have FUN!
As I look back over this weekend with friends, this Summer of Fun, this year of many memories, each one is filled with Enjoyment that will last a lifetime. And I will do what God desires and Enjoy every breath He has given me.
