Enjoy The Ride

Most of us know how to work, push through, and endure, but we often forget how to enjoy the life God has already given us. We pray for jobs, homes, and families, then spend our days dreading, stressing, and waiting for something better. Scripture is clear that God richly provides everything for our enjoyment, not just our survival. The danger of familiarity is that it causes us to stop recognizing the value of what we once prayed for. Having something and enjoying something are two different things, and sometimes what blocks our joy is not what we lack but what we are carrying. Rest, presence, and gratitude are all part of God's original design for living well. Today is the someday you once prayed for, so stop waiting for a special occasion to enjoy the life He has already given you.
