Ecclesiastes 5:20

"For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart."he will not often consider the years of his life" -the years of his life are the few days already mentioned. The righteous person will not fret over the brevity, uncertainty or possible troubles of his life. Rather he or she lives each day at. time and makes the most of all the possessions, opportunities and talents which God has given them. In addition, such. person realizes that this earthly life is simply. small fraction of their existence, they have. much better life to come! (Phil. Ecclesiastes 1:21; 1 Peter 1:4; Romans 8:18).

"God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart" -In contrast to the claims of unbelievers, being occupied with the things of God is. great way to stay mentally and emotionally healthy! For example, the rich Christian won't be worrying about their wealth, rather they will gain great satisfaction from being providentially allowed to be in. position to help others and be involved in many good works (1 Timothy 6:17). It's hard to worry about what you have, envy those who have more, fear losing it all, when you see how much good is done when you are generous!
