Ecclesiastes 9:8 “Let your garments always be white, and let your head lack no oil.”
As we read Ecclesiastes 9:8, we come across a verse with intriguing instructions that is well worth considering. The instructions “let your garments always be white and let your head lack no oil” encourage us to dress daily as if we are going to a wedding celebration. Think about going to a wedding celebration. It is a most exciting and wonderful time. It is filled with much joy and hope. From the bride and the groom to the youngest child, everyone dresses up and looks their best! Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 9:8 comes along and gives us the challenge to approach each day this way.
We should approach each day as the very best day of our life.
Listen closely, yesterday is in the tomb and is gone forever. Tomorrow is in the womb and is not promised. Today – TODAY is the present – and a present is a gift! Thus, we want to fully embrace this present – this gift – this new day. We will want to be fully engaged in it – and yes, fully enjoy it!!!
Thus we say, “Carpe diem “- SEIZE the day!!!
Today is the best day of the rest of your life!
Continue Strong, enjoying every moment!
And remember to DATE the Word!
