FROM RAY COMFORT’S: THINK ON THESE THINGS; WISDOM FOR LIFE FROM PROVERBS:
WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN HAPPINESS: ?
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. Proverbs 10:2
1. What is it that you think matters most to God? I believe it is righteousness. We tend to esteem happiness as our highest ideal, and we say that it’s the right of every American/Fijian to pursue it. But righteousness is what we should first pursue.
I am sure a bag full of stolen money would make a thief happy.
But whether something is right should always trump whether or not it makes us happy.
Most of this sinful world has no real hunger for righteousness, but it will be the only thing that matters on the day of wrath. That’s when people will see that the righteousness that delivers from death is only found in Jesus Christ.
I pray they will see it before that day.
SOUL SEARCH. At what times in my life has happiness meant more to me than righteousness?
Father, please help me to always put what is right above my personal happiness. Amen.
FROM GOD’S WORD ,THE BIBLE :READ IT, BELIEVE IT, DO IT.
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,.This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. Exodus 13 :8
