Today’s Scripture
“Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.”
(Ecclesiastes 5:18, NKJV)
Focus on What You Have
The scripture talks about how God has given us the power to enjoy what is allotted and appointed to us. That simply means that I don’t have the power to enjoy your life. You may have more success, more money, more friends or a better job, but if you put me in your life, I’m not going to enjoy it. We are uniquely designed to run our own race.
When we truly understand and embrace this, we won’t be tempted to compare or wish we had what someone else has. You won’t think, “If only I had their talent…” No, if God wanted you to have that talent, He would have given it to you. Instead, take what you have and develop it. Make the most of it. Don’t think, “If only I had her looks…” No, God gave you your looks. That’s not an accident. The life you have has been perfectly matched for you.
Now, you’ve got to do your part and get excited about your life. Be excited about who you are—your looks, your talent, your ability, your personality. When you’re passionate about who you are, it brings honor to God. That’s when God will breathe in your direction and the seeds of greatness in you will take root and begin to flourish!
A Prayer for Today
“Father, I thank You for giving me the gifts, talents and abilities to enjoy life and accomplish Your will. Today, I choose to put my trust and hope in You knowing that You have equipped me for the destiny You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Black people need to get away from the slave masters Christianity?
It’s time we freed humanity from control and lies of religion and started to believe in the goodness of other humans.
Unlike you id!ots, I am free from the stoopidity and oppressiveness of religion!
ignorance and stupidity
@Free, you need help, you sound you about to be arrested. First find yourself name, stop being such a fuoool, don’t take life of other people, go in forest and hang yourself by balls peacefully.
@ free, u are the one who is lost & stupid
No where in the bible does it condemn slavery. Infact it is written in the bible that God said you can beat your slaves but don’t beat them hard enough for them to die straight after. The Bible is just a hook created by imprelalialists to control us. This is the only thing hh and I don’t see face to face with. I am not religious while he is but that doesn’t mean we cannot work together for a common cause. It is called tolerance
Free is speaking sense and logic
exposing your ignorance, are you?
Thank You Lord for the powerful Word today and for this ministry that inspires millions. Amen!
Thank you Lord, for your word is double edged sword.
Amen…!
you idea of free is misplaced and misunderstood..chosing to give up religion means choosing a different faith..what you believe in now, you have FAITH in it..if u say u have given up on religion then u have faith that u have given up.so in my opinion, its just a matter of choosing something to believe in an direct all your energy to it..Christianity for example is a very powerful religion which is built on love trust and honesty..in any democracy, a president swears by placing a hand on the bible.that how powerful it is
