Ecclesiastes 3: For everything there is a season,…a time to heal,…a time to build up,… a time to laugh,…a time to dance…
King Solomon in his wisdom talks about a ‘time’ for all kinds of things and I like to think there is also a ‘time to enjoy’. Let me explain.
It did make me chuckle but I thought what a wise little animal. He knew how to make the most of the moment as our weather can change at the drop of a hat, although we have had a run of sunny weather lately.
Proverbs 6:6 tells us to learn from the ants because they are so industrious, but I think we can learn from a tortoise too, don’t you? They know how to relax!
God gives us lots of moments to enjoy and the secret is to recognise them and just stop what we’re doing for a minute to appreciate them because they probably wont happen just that way again. James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from our Father,….and that includes ‘enjoy the moment’ moments!
I just happened to look out my bedroom window the other night before shutting the curtains and the sky was a beautiful red. It was one of those ‘stop and enjoy it’ moments, so I did.😊
Stop and think for a minute about the past few days and see if you had any moments where you stopped to appreciate something that made you smile, or lifted your spirits. If you did then praise God but if you didn’t then how about asking the Lord for one today and for the wisdom to recognise it when it comes. Then maybe you can share it with someone else and help them learn to look for an ‘enjoy it moment’, and brighten their day too, just like the little tortoise.😊
