We're on a journey that will continue to change from season to season where winter is no more enjoyable than fall and spring is no better than summer. The weather changes, the characters move on and new ones are introduced. Our circumstances will always change but there are things about who we are and why we are here that are more solid than anything we can see. We can stand on the truths that God created us to enjoy Him (Isaiah 43:1-7) and is walking with us on a journey that is meant for our good (Romans 8:28) and it will all end well (Philippians 1:6). Our circumstances will always have us looking for the next thing to make us happy but our God calls us to look into his eyes for what is already here.
This can all be summed up in Ecclesiastes 5:18
The Bible describes the writer of this book, Solomon, to be the wisest man that ever lived. At the end of his life he wrote Ecclesiastes as a reflection and memoir. This is what he said...
Ecclesiastes 5:18
The Message (MSG)
Make the Most of What God Gives
18-20 After looking at the way things are on this earth, here's what I've decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that's about it. That's the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what's given and delighting in the work. It's God's gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It's useless to brood over how long we might live.Don't let the wonderful things that today has to offer pass you by because you're too interested in what's going to happen 3 months from now. He's got you breathing today for a reason. Embrace it. Enjoy it.
Just Live your life. Haay haay haaaaay...

Also, click here to read Isaiah 43:1-7. It's very encouraging.
