God intends for you to enjoy life. He made all things for you to enjoy, and He created the very senses with which to enjoy them. Every good and perfect gift that God has sent down from above, He created for you, His child, to enjoy - James 1:17.
Enjoy the pleasures that God has given you as much as you please and as much as you need. Just don’t enjoy them more than Him.
If you have an inordinate desire for too much of certain things, then it becomes a form of worship, and that’s a sin. “Do not love the world or the things in the world,” the Bible cautions us. “If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Don’t let the blessings of God take first place in your life, because God will not take second place. He wants your love above all else. He says, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3).
Let us be sure that we put God first; loving and worshipping Him above all, and thanking Him for all of these other things that He has given us to enjoy. Praise the goodness of the Lord.
