ENJOY JUNE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Ecclesiastes 12:13; 1 Timothy 6:17)

The blueberries are harvesting.  You can go right down the road and handpick them.  Bogue Sound watermelons are ripening on the vine right here in eastern North Carolina, the best watermelon in the country.  Silver Queen corn is brought in from the fields and sold at the corner fruit stand.  It only lasts for a few weeks but there is no sweeter corn in the world.  And tomatoes are growing on vines in back yard buckets.  School’s out; hurricane season has begun, the baseball fields are full of kids and if you sit on the front porch, you might hear the sound of the ice cream truck turning the corner in the neighborhood.  It is June everywhere you look! 

I overheard a conversation in a beauty shop one time.  A young woman who was strikingly beautiful and intelligent and a newlywed and had recently given her heart to God was telling another woman that she felt she had no purpose in life.  She said she was searching to see what she was to do with her life.  I wasn’t supposed to be listening but if she had asked me, I would have told her she could find her answer in the writings of Solomon:

“All has been heard and the end of the matter is this:

Fear God – revere and worship Him 

and keep His commandments,

For this is the whole of man 

- the full, original purpose of his creation,

the object of God’s providence, 

the root of character,  

the foundation of all happiness,

 the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances 

and conditions under the sun

and the whole duty of man.”

Today, Solomon might say it like this:

After all is said and done, the end of the matter is this:

Glorify God by acknowledging His presence; enjoy Him and His creation. 

Life is meant to be enjoyed with laughing, dancing, love and peace.

A wise person can sort out life’s complexities and still balance the joys with the sorrow, the calm with the pain and the peace with the battle.

A wise person knows the foundation of all happiness and respects God and His creation. 

Father, I look around me on this June afternoon, and I am reminded to enjoy your creation.  Thank you for the change of seasons, the process of seed time and harvest and the remarkable beauty of Your divine design.  Enjoying your presence inspires me to walk in love.  I understand and know this is my entire purpose in life.

JUNE AFTERNOON

Devotion:  Enjoy June!

(Adapted from 1 Timothy 6:17)

Verse 1

Where to go on a hot summer day 

Where to go, where to get away

Let's just stay home 

And sit in the shade on this June afternoon

Chorus  

It's a June afternoon (repeat)

Sitting in the shade, 

Holding hands and smelling sweet perfume 

On this June afternoon 

Verse 2

The fan is roaring in the open window 

Watermelon juice is dripping down little chins

The water is fine, 

Come on and jump in 

On this June afternoon

Bridge

I can't paint a better picture 

Than the one before my eyes

My little wife and all my babies 

Happy, content enjoying life

Words And Music by KentCliffordCooley 

We only have one devotion for this week
We have composed songs and devotions for this subject however we do not have the financial support to produce the other 6 devotions for this week of devotions at this time. Each produced devotion and music video involves 8 to 12 hours to produce. We are believing God for several LoveWalkCovenantPartners of any monthly amount to partner with us to complete this daily devotional series. We have produced over 200 devotions and music videos but we can not do it without the help of fellow believers like you. Become a LoveWalkCovenantPartner today or sponcer one devotion and music video for a gift of $100.00. We would be glad to produce such a devotion in honour of a loved one.
