Scripture
Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 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. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.
Observation
It's important to remember that wealth and health come from God. Accepting our lot in life has to do with contentment. It does not mean to not strive to attain, but rather to be content ~ not dissatisfied. And be distracted by enjoying life!
Application
Today is the day. Enjoy life. No matter what my lot in life is, I can enjoy not only being alive, but the abundant life that God has promised. Every day is a good day - no matter what I face. God's goodness is extended every day, His mercies are new every morning - without fail.
Prayer
Father, Your Word says you will keep me (as I enjoy my work and lot in life) busy enjoying life. I pray that You would do this. Please help me to have real joy; authentic, deep, and evident.
