Our thirst for happiness is INSATIABLE in this world, and if we do not have the wisdom to seek it in God, then we will find it in the world (Proverbs 15:21).
Our thirst for happiness is INSATIABLE in this world, and if we do not have the wisdom to seek it in God, then we will find it in the world (Proverbs 15:21).
The ways people seek happiness apart from God are too many to count, but we could start with alcohol and drugs; Facebook and Instagram; lust and sex, surfing and golf, television and movies, beaches and suntans, bungie jumping and sky diving, and, of course, AVOCADO TOAST.
But none of that can bring true and lasting happiness. True and lasting happiness can only be found in God. And that is the difference for Christians—we seek happiness through the lens of God’s wisdom.
Christians are set apart from the world because they have given up on the “conventional” quest for happiness and, instead, seek it from the holy prescription found in God’s Word.
That’s why we must do anything and everything to be wiser today than we were yesterday.
We must desire wisdom with everything in our personal constitution. It must be important enough for us to seek in the divine Word of God. It must be important enough for us to pray for every day just like Solomon (2 Chronicles 1:10); Daniel (Daniel 2:30); Paul (Colossians 1:9); and James (James 1:5).
I ask God to give me the strength to seek out his wisdom and use that door to find happiness.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
Will you be chasing after wisdom today? Will you be wiser today than yesterday?
“A wise man is mightier than a strong man. Wisdom is mightier than strength.” Proverbs 24:5
