2 :: ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE.

After you’ve practiced the hard work of giving thanks for the good things in your life, practice the fun work of enjoying them. Solomon says it over and over—the best thing anyone can do in life under the sun is to enjoy what God gives.

Think about the things on your thanksgiving list. How often do you take the time and energy to really have fun with those things? To use them in ways that make them worthwhile to you? Remember, that’s what they’re for.

In the first few verses of Ecclesiastes 6, Solomon reveals the difference between someone who lives for money and possessions and someone who lives with those things. The difference is enjoyment. Someone who lives with possessions, but not for them, can enjoy them. Someone who worships money or things can’t really enjoy them, because he or she isn’t ever satisfied with them.

Check out what Paul told a young pastor named Timothy about money and enjoyment: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (1 Timothy 6:17).

God wants you to enjoy the good things you have. So get busy and have fun and thank him for it!
