7 So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! 8 Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne!
9 Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil. 10 Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.11 I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. - Ecclesiastes 9
Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader and whose leaders feast at the proper time to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk. - Ecclesiastes 10
Message:
Life is Short. There is only one Life to live.
Observation/Promise:
GOD approves when we know how to appreciate the blessings in our lives. There is no such thing as luck, but favor comes from GOD and His favor comes to those that love Him. When you are thankful for what you have because you recognize that it is HE who has given and blessed you with everything, this pleases GOD and it makes your life even richer knowing that you are given everything that you need. Gratefulness is the key to a fulfilling life which leads to contentment.
Command/Application:
Live Life to the fullnest! Do not hold back or hesitate to chase your dreams and experience whatever you always wanted to do. Do your best in all things! For life is very short and everyone dies. When we die, there's no more, that's it! Be thankful to GOD for everything, and whatever you may still need, ask GOD of this, pray and do not stop praying. Live, not just for today but prepare for the future
