Enjoy God’s good gifts

God richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 1

The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. 2 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him. 3 

From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. 4 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father. 5

God has made everything beautiful for its own time. People should eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of their labour, for these are gifts from God. 6 These pleasures are from the hand of God. For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him? 7 Go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! 8

To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life – this is indeed a gift from God. 9 Rejoice in all you have accomplished because the LORD your God has blessed you. 10

Celebrate because of all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household. 11 Are you happy? You should sing praises. 12 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! 13
