MIDWEEK MEDITATION

And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
                                                                        Ecclesiastes 8:15

You can experience joy in your life today. 

That can be a stretch to hear in normal times, it can sound ridiculous in hard times. The problem with finding joy in our lives today is the problem of our lives and the problem of today.

Our days right now are filled with uncertainty. They are filled with anxiety. In our lives we get caught in the trap of trying to find our ultimate meaning, our purpose, our identity, and our security in things that can never bear that kind of weight. 

The world around you cannot speak your true name. Those words belong to God who speaks over you your meaning, your purpose, your identity, and your security. It is when we are in this place, that we are free to enjoy the life we have in front of us.

You can experience joy.
