Happy Friday - Enjoy What is at Hand!

I thought the words of Dr. Bruce Waltke, in regards to the book of Ecclesiastes, were in order for this Friday:

"The wise accept the present time as the proper time for what is at hand. What is proper for tomorrow is unknowable and hebel. The aims of wisdom are thus tempered; it shifts expectations from profit to portion, from storing up to enjoyment of God's gifts. The moment to enjoy life is the given time. Wisdom that seeks beyond today strives beyond its limits in an attempt to storm the gates of heaven...The striving for the future will never satisfy, for things fail, decay, and are forgotten; the only sure expectations under the sun are injustice and death. Instead of being involved in the futility of trying to master the future, one must find enjoyment in what is at hand. This does not point to a hedonistic or irresponsible existence, but to a life of simplicity and ironic commitment in the fear of God." (An Old Testament Theology, 964-965)
