Ecclesiastes The Gift of God

“…that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy
the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God”
[Ecclesiastes 3:13 KJV].
“God wants all people to eat and drink and be
happy in their work, which are gifts from God”
[Ecclesiastes 3:13 NCV].

Note from Zondervan, The Full Life Study Bible.

The ability to enjoy life and live it properly is a gift
from God that comes only when we are brought into a right
relationship with Him and sincerely submit ourselves to Him
as our Lord and God. He then gives us joy in what we do.

Dorothy: There was a question in my heart about our struggles
to accept the ‘new change,’ our semi-retirement since we moved
here two years ago. It was difficult to adjust after 40 years
of being busy between jobs and our ministry.

Then something happened! I read Ecclesiastes 3:13. God answers
my question! I share this with Tony. His eyelids went up as in
surprise that it is a gift of God that we are to enjoy the simple
things and we have yet to learn this.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for showing us Ecclesiastes 3:13.
Thank You Lord for taking a good care of us. We praise You and
love You so much in Jesus’ name. Amen!
