Ecclesiastes 6
Accept what you have. Instead of looking around for something different (v. 9), accept what you now have as God’s gift. This does not suggest laziness or resignation because God expects you to make good use of what He gives you (
Enjoy what you have. How tragic to have riches and a long life but not be able to enjoy them! The poor man wishes for more while the rich man wishes he could enjoy even a part of what he has (Prov. 15:16–17).
Enjoy what you have TODAY. Life passes by like a shadow, and you do not know the future (v. 12). In the will of God, make the most of today’s opportunities and blessings, and you will be ready for what lies ahead.
“A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.”
Henry David Thoreau
