Today's readings are Ecclesiastes 5.1-20 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Eccl.+5.1-20 ) and John 8.1-20 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+8.1-20 ).
Aren't you glad when Friday rolls around again? It's such a wonderful day. I know my Fridays are exceptional days. Know why? I get to go to work! The Lord has provided me with lots and lots of things to do on a Friday. I can get up in the morning and serve the Lord by caring for the property he has entrusted to me. I can go to my office and deal with the many human interactions I have during the day. I help my co-workers get their jobs done. I help my employer make the bottom line work out. I contact the public in my work. I read and write e-mails. I talk on the phone. It's all part of my opportunity to live out this life Christ has given me. Then I leave the office and spend more time with my family and the other things God has put around me. It's a great day. Every Friday. Thank God it's Friday!
What?
It's Wednesday?
Yippee! I get to go to work and be God's blessing in this world not only today but for two more work days this week!
Ecclesiastes 5.18-20 (ESV) says, "Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God. For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.
