New Year, New Priorities




Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.

As King Solomon contemplated the meaning of life, he offered 2 recommendations. First, we’re to live in the most meaningful way we can, which includes fully enjoying the good things God allows us to experience in life, such as food and drink, clothing and perfume, marriage and all of God’s good gifts.

His second recommendation was diligent work. Life is full of opportunities and there is always more work to be done. We’re to take advantage of the opportunities God gives us, seeking His wisdom on how to prioritize work and play in a way that uses our gifting to serve Him.

Life is a wonderful gift from the Lord. We honor Him when we take pleasure both in His daily blessings and in meaningful service.

Father, thank You for this life You’ve given me. Help me to live this new year for You, enjoying Your blessings and fulfilling Your purposes.

We can both enjoy God’s blessings and be a blessing to others.
