There is nothing better than when you sit down and enjoy a wonderful meal that has all of the foods that you like included in it. Imagine that dish that is perfectly cooked, just the way you like it, with your favorite drink on the side and the dessert that makes your mouth water… You’re probably thinking right now, “ahhh, yes, that would be heavenly”.

Of course being able to eat well is one of the greatest pleasures on earth. And if you include that with having all around health, wealth and well being, you have a combination for a life as close to perfect as possible here on earth. In the Bible even King Solomon (the richest man to ever live on this earth) made it clear that what I’m describing is the greatest pleasure, when he said,

Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor.

But how do you get to enjoy this pleasure? In the next line he makes it clear,

This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.

(Ecclesiastes 2:24)

The greatest joy in the world and beyond comes from God. So you can only receive it by being close to Him.

Don’t be far from God. Don’t be far from His altar (His presence). Even in this time of worldwide crisis, our faith has to stay active. You need to continue and actually increase your strength and efforts to please God because He is the only One that has the power to change the condition of the world and most importantly, your life.

God wants to give you all of the things that make you truly happy, but He needs you to first give Him all of you.

May the God of the Bible bless you
