(Learn To Enjoy Your Life)
TO THE BIBLE: John 10:10 MSG
“A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.”
LET’S TALK
“Coach, what am I doing wrong? It’s so hard to stay afloat when I swim, no matter how hard I try!” Ava cried in frustration as she stumbled out of the pool.
“Hey, you don’t need to struggle,” Coach Eric began to explain, “any good swimmer knows she’ll surely sink if she does that. All you’ve got to do is simply release yourself to the water, because it’s there to keep you afloat!”
On hearing this, Ava gained a new understanding that ultimately helped her become a great swimmer, and she went on to win several accolades in the sport.
Life is this way too. Those who don’t understand that life is a gift that the Lord has given them to enjoy are the ones who struggle through life and find it difficult to stay afloat. If your plans include struggling or suffering for something you think you don’t yet have, then you’ve made the wrong plans.
Life is a gift meant to be enjoyed; everything about life, including the world around you, was created for your benefit. All you need to do to take charge and enjoy life is to stay in God’s Word. It’s as simple as that! Realise that God has richly given you all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). Find out about the things He’s freely given you, so you don’t spend time struggling to get what’s already yours. Let the Word show you what’s yours in Christ Jesus so you can truly enjoy your life!

Dear Lord, thank you for my beautiful life! I thank you for giving me everything I require for both life and godliness through your Word. I refuse to fret or worry about anything, for I trust your mighty hand will take care of me, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
