Contemplative Bible Reading

Ecclesiastes 5:19 (New Living Translation)

And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.

I slowly read the book of Ecclesiastes recently. This is the theme I found (reading it this time, next year may be different):

Enjoy what God gives us

God gives us food, drink, work, and many other things. Question:

Do I enjoy, recognize, and give thanks for what I have everyday?

The answer is, probably not. I am too busy, too tired, too whatever. I need to get straight on this part of my life – today. I am sitting in a comfortable chair at a computer typing words and I am enjoying it. That is a gift from God and I thank God for it.

Now if I can just keep doing this. Please help me God and forgive me when I fail.
