Enjoy Today
When I read the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes, I sometimes wonder, “So this is the wisest man who ever lived? Life is a chasing of the wind?” Then, I come to chapter 3.
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
When we are young, we can’t wait until we are older. As we age, we wish we could slow down the aging process. We may try, but we cannot rush time, nor can we slow it down.
All we can do is live in the moment, enjoy the day, be grateful for the people we share life with, and trust God for all He is and does. Why?
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Live today. Enjoy the day.
