I have always thought that I am extraordinary, not mediocre, and I am unique. I want to make different contributions and make great achievements in this world. The reality is ordinary and mediocre. Once there is a big gap between ideal and reality, there will be a big gap in my heart, and sometimes I will be unhappy because of these.
When I was walking with Mr. Song, I told him about these negative emotions. He said that many people will have this idea, including him. I lament that life is too short, so why should this world care about it?
Psalm 90 10 says: "Our life span is seventy years old, and if we are strong, we can live to eighty years old;" But all it boasted was hard work and worry, and in a blink of an eye, we flew away. "
If we are strong and can live to be 80 years old, then our life has already passed 1/3, and the rest is only 2/3. Why can't we spend it happily?
What's the point of these things we are worried about?
God said, if you have food and clothing, you should be satisfied. A person has only one mouth in his life and can only eat three meals a day; We only have one body and can only sleep in one bed every day. We have clothes to wear, food to eat and a house to cover our heads. Aren't we already grateful, satisfied and happy? Why do people still feel dissatisfied?
King Solomon said, I think it is good and beautiful, that is, a man eats and drinks on the day God gives him and enjoys the benefits of his labor under the sun, because this is his share.
We should enjoy all the fruits of our efforts, for every delicious meal we eat, every comfortable dress, and every sheltered house (whether rented or not).
It's a pity that many people are worried and full of great desires besides working hard, and they are restless and unsatisfied for a moment.
They are tired and sad, but they still can't enjoy what they have earned. Who knows, this is also vanity and chasing the wind.
1 Timothy 6: 6-7 says, "However, godliness and contentment are great benefits. Because we brought nothing into this world and nothing into it. "
Yes, we came to this world naked, and we will leave this world naked, taking nothing and taking nothing away. ?
As long as you have food and clothing, you should be satisfied.
Today's scripture
What I see as good and beautiful is that a man eats and drinks on the day God gave him and enjoys the benefits of his labor under the sun, because this is his share. -Chuan 5: 18
