And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.”
ECCLESIASTES 3:13
DEVOTION
Based on Ecclesiastes 3
God not only gives us work to do—He also invites us to enjoy the fruit of that labor. Ecclesiastes 3:13 reminds us that satisfaction and enjoyment are not selfish indulgences but gifts from God.
The ability to find joy in your daily life, to pause and appreciate good food, meaningful work, and moments of rest, is part of God’s design. It’s easy to rush from one task to the next, but God calls us to receive His blessings with gratitude and presence. Enjoyment isn’t the goal of life, but it’s a grace along the way. Celebrate the little things today—they are reminders of God’s kindness.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: God, You are the giver of joy. You fill life with meaning and moments of goodness.
CONFESSION: I often overlook the blessings You’ve placed before me. I chase the next goal without appreciating the now.
THANKSGIVING: Thank You for allowing me to enjoy life’s simple gifts—meals, rest, relationships, and the work of my hands.
SUPPLICATION: Lord, help me to live with greater awareness of Your daily blessings. Teach me to pause and give thanks. Let my heart not be consumed with striving, but filled with contentment. May I see enjoyment not as a distraction but as worship—delighting in what You’ve provided. Remind me today that joy is holy when it flows from You.
PRAYER
“And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.”
ECCLESIASTES 3:13
Dear Lord, You have created us to work, be creative, and build cultures that honor You. Yet, we are not meant to only work. We are meant to enjoy the fruit of our labor as well. We are designed to enjoy the good gifts that come from hard work. Lord, we thank You for the fruit of our labor. We ask that everything would be enjoyed for Your glory and Your glory alone. May we never grow complacent in our enjoyment, rather, always be hungry to honor You even more through our diligence. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾
