What do you most enjoy doing and how do you make the most of it? Often, we are so weighed down by sin that to enjoy any pleasure feels wrong or decadent. Or perhaps we struggle to believe there is much good in life to begin with. In Ecclesiastes 9:7–10, we learn that having a sense of gratitude and thankfulness to God results in us seizing the day and making the most of what God has given. We learn that he has gifted us with contentment, comfort, companionship, and work.
In the pursuit of contentment, people have unsuccessfully chased many different avenues as a means to find fulfilment. Our problem is that we “can’t get no satisfaction” through any earthly means. Only in God’s economy is there a means of finding true and lasting contentment.
