[1Peter 3:4 ESV] but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

Wisdom Wednesday
[Ecc 2:22-26 KJV] 22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
My thinking is it depends on the attitude.
23 For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
There will be times when our concerns keep us up at night but that is life.
24 [There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
Absolutely celebrate the good times...they are blessings from the Father.
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto], more than I?
I read something yesterday from a devotion that said the bad wouldn't exist without the good. Let's face it, the more the Lord blesses you, the responsibility and care goes along with those blessings.
26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
This is the reaping and sowing principle of life. Not always fun but a terrific teacher.
