Worthy Brief - February 22, 2024

Be sure to enjoy life!

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

A recent study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California Los Angeles wanted to find out, "If you had to choose between more time and more money, what would it be?" While most respondents answered "more money", they also found that those who preferred "more time" were generally happier! When I read this article, it reminded me of a story, that I'd like to share.

A wealthy businessman was shocked to see a fisherman sitting beside his boat, playing with a small child. So the businessman asked, "Why aren't you out fishing?" The fisherman replied, "Because I've caught enough fish for one day." "Why don't you catch some more?" the businessman further inquired.

"What would I do with them?" asked the fisherman. "You could earn more money," said the businessman. "Then, with the extra money, you could buy a bigger boat, go into deeper waters, and catch more fish. Then, you would make enough money to buy nylon nets. With the nets, you could catch even more fish and make more money. With that money, you could own two boats, maybe three boats. Eventually, you could have a whole fleet of boats and be rich like me."

"Then what would I do?" replied the fisherman. "Then you could really enjoy life," answered the businessman. The fisherman looked at the businessman quizzically and asked, "What do you think I'm doing now?"

Let's not get so wrapped up in work that we simply forget to enjoy life – the life that He wants to give us more abundantly! Take some time out this weekend, and be sure to praise God for the life that He's provided.  Have a great weekend!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
