Enjoy Whatever You Are Doing
And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all to which you put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you. Deuteronomy 12:7
I used to hate waiting in the airport, but Dave always wanted to arrive early. I finally changed my mind. It is amazing what happens when you decide to enjoy God every day. It is easy to get so caught up in all your responsibilities that you forget to enjoy what you are doing.
You can get so busy raising your children that you forget to enjoy them. You can get so caught up in cleaning your house, trying to pay for it, and remodeling it, that you forget to enjoy it. But you can learn to enjoy God so much that no matter what you do today, you can truly say, "I enjoyed it."
Don't Worry
For You make him to be blessed and a blessing forever; You make him exceedingly glad with the joy of Your presence. Psalm 21:6
It is a learning process to keep the devil from stealing your joy, because he constantly tempts you in new ways to lose your peace. If Satan gets your peace, then he will get your joy. Be strong and resist his temptation to make you worry.
The Word says that God gives riches and possessions, and the power to enjoy them. To accept our appointed lot and to rejoice in our work is the gift of God. We won't remember seriously the days of our life, because the tranquility of God is mirrored in us
Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 If God gives a man weath and property and lets him enjoy them, he should be grateful and enjoy what he has worked for. It is a gift from God. Since God has allowed him to be happy, he will not worry too much about how short life is.
Determine that from this day forward you will do everything you can to keep your peace and enjoy your life.
Truimph Over Troubles
Moreover (let us also be full of joy now!) let us exult and truimph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and harship produce patient and unswerving endurance. Romans 5:3
Some days it seems that everything goes wrong, one thing after another, after another. Don't just talk to yourself, saying, " I just can't take anymore of this." Don't talk to your friends, saying, " I just can't put up with anymore of this."
Don't struggle with the same tests day after day; instead, talk back to the devil as Jesus did
Luke 4:1-13 Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the Spirit into the desert, where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. In all that time he ate nothing, so that he was hungry when it was over.
The Devil said to him, "If you are God's son, order this stone to turn into bread."
But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Man cannot live on bread alone.'"
Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second all the kingdoms of the world. "I will give you all this power and all this wealth," the Devil told him. "It has all been handed over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose. All this will be yours, if you worship me."
Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!'"
Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the Temple, and said to him,"If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here, For the scripture says, 'God will order his angels to take good care of you,' It also says, 'They will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.'"
But Jesus answered, "The scripture says , 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
When the Devil finished tempting Jesus in every way, he left him for a while.
If you feel your peace and joy slipping away, talk out loud to Satan. If he is trying to steal from you, say, "Forget it, devil; you are not getting me upset today!"
