Topic: Enjoy The Works Of Hands

Text: "And also that every man should eat and drink, and
enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of
God" (Ecclesiastes 3:13).

One of life’s tragedies is to work hard and never
get ahead. Some people are working as hard as
humanly possible, yet something always steals
their opportunity to appreciate the results of
their efforts. Some people work so hard they are
literally workaholics who can never seem to turn
off the business day. Others work hours upon
end, but never seem to improve their financial
position. Then there is yet another group who
can’t seem to be free of the mental stress
created by their work life. However, it’s God’s
will for every hard-working person to enjoy the
fruit of their labors. This means something
different for everyone. For most people it simply
means being able to comfortably pay their bills
and still have resources remaining to enjoy some
simple pleasures in life. It could also mean
enjoying some much-needed time off or simply
being able to be mentally free from focusing on
work.
There comes a point when we all need to put
the demands of life aside and simply enjoy life.
God created the world in six days, then looked
around and took a full day to appreciate His
work. The Lord wants you to enjoy the fruit of
your labor too. It’s a gift from Him!

PRAYER
Father, I know that You want me to enjoy the
results of my hard work. Help me deal with the
areas that want to steal my ability to do so.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of enjoying good
things in life. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
