Eccl.3:12 So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. 13 And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.
If you can't see anything in this picture you should see the livelieness of it. People seem to be genuinely enjoying themselves. If you look close enough you can actually see people doing one ir not a combination of the eating, drinking or being merry. Today's scripture is written by King Solomon and in this chapter it's famous for him communicating there is a time & season for everything...and as he closes the chapter he mentions that there is really nothing better than simply the ability to enjoy life. GOD knows I've had my share of sucesses, fun times, abuse, tragedies & heart break, but to know me......is to KNOW I LOVE LIFE & LIVING. But how is it that some of us are having the time of our lives, but we work alongside, live next to, folks that are battling depression, alcoholism, abuse, and so many other tragedies?
Easily put....there is a time and season for everything, BUT.......GOD desire is that we'd endure these tragedies with an eternal perspective, which helps us...and empowers us to encourage others, to realize THIS TO SHALL PASS! Truth be told...we know people who are trying to do this thing called LIFE, completely without GOD. Which is why they aren't finding satisfaction. I can be satisfied in any circumstance (like Joseph when being sold into slavery, imprisioned, lied on...etc) as long as I know GOD is with me. Which (by knowing this) then should encourage us to positively approach every venue life and living brings. WHY BECAUSE THIS (LIFE, our JOBS) IS A GIFT from GOD. We can't accept the CROWN unless we endure the CROSS.....so today eat, drink, and be merry for we don't know when this PARTY called life will end....so let's remember to remember GOD in our celebrations, & GOD's goodness toward us as the celebrations of LIFE continue. LGLP!
