Ecclesiastes 6 - Accept and Enjoy What You Have

 

Ecclesiastes 6 – Accept and Enjoy what You Have

 

The man experiences a full and extended life, yet without being satisfied with goodness; the child, little or no life at all, to have abundance without appreciation is meaningless.

 

A job will not satisfy the soul, and the mind cannot replace the heart, when people stand before God, neither their commissions nor their continuing education will sway Him. All we do in life is preserve our life. We work to feed our bodies, we sleep to keep our bodies healthy, we exercise to keep our life going. Yet, even the foolish man does the same. Ultimate joy is knowing Him.

 

Sight versus desire is Solomon’s version of a “bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” God does not condemn dreaming big, but no one should wait for things to get better before they start enjoying what God has provided.

 

Everyone’s destiny has been determined, and ordained by God, so it is nonsense to foolishly argue with Him about how things are. Only God knows what will happen in anyone’s life. That is why He is worthy to be trusted. He sees around all the corners that to humanity are just blind turns. Life passes by like a shadow, and you do not know the future. In the will of God, make the most of today’s opportunities and blessings, and you will be ready for what lies ahead.
