PLEASURE
Today's reading:  Ecclesiastes 1-2

"...Then I realized that this pleasure is from the hand of God."  Ecclesiastes 2:24 NLT

Know what happens when you willing and deliberately choose to see everything as a gift from God? 

The small things look much more important and the big things, the things that usually cause me to stumble and grumble--don't matter as much as I thought they did!

But don't think it comes easily.  It takes effort.  It. takes commitment.  It takes going above and beyond what is natural or easy.  It requires a complete change of thinking and of focus.

But it's worth it.  Every minute, every effort, every attempt to praise God for all He's involved in, is worth it!

And that pleasure comes straight from the hand of God.
