The Source of Happiness
Happy is the man that feareth alway; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 28:14
People are constantly seeking happiness. Many feel they can achieve happiness through financial freedom, political stature, climbing the corporate ladder or climbing mountains. But Solomon points out the simple truth to happiness. It is not what we do physically but spiritually.
David says it best in Psalms 19:8-10: "The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb." Like father, like son - David and Solomon knew the secret to happiness - fearing the Lord. And David goes even further to enlighten us - it is not riches (gold) but fearing the Lord that puts a smile on our face and our heart.
May your demeanor be sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. For you know your source of happiness. And nothing on this earth can take it away.
