Cultural Paradox

In my studies today, I came across a statement by Warren Wiersbe that says something like, "Life is meant to be enjoyed and used to bring glory to God." It struck me that our culture would say that these two would be mutually exclusive. However, the reality of the thought hit me. The thought that we cannot enjoy life while pleasing God is a lie straight from the pits of hell that we often buy...just as it was first sold in the Garden of Eden. It has been sold to some of the greatest minds and wealthiest people in history...but it is purchased by the lowliest people as well. The truth is that the greatest enjoyment we can have in life is when we are living out our God desired purpose.
