Enjoyment

Dear Lord please be with us and may this be a good day ahead. Please may it be one that we can enjoy as we feel the guiding touches of the Holy Spirit in our thoughts and deeds. Please lead us this day away from temptation and deliver us from evil and selfish thoughts and deeds. Please may our enjoyment be of the wonders of Your creation, such as the warmth of the sun and the beauty of the sky. The songs of the birds and the insects and the vital contact with other of Your children. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

KJV
Ps 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ec 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

Ec 3:9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
Ec 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Ec 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ec 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Ec 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

Ec 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Ec 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
