A Frantic Search

The Pursuit of Happiness

Scripture declares King Solomon "greater than all kings of 
the earth in riches and wisdom."

Somewhere along the lines, Solomon forgot the divine source
of his prosperity. A great emptiness came into his life as he turned
away from the Lord, and he embarked on a pursuit of  happiness
to fill the spiritual void. Out of Solomon's frantic and fruitless search
comes a compelling  message for us: the message of the "apes and 
peacocks." The peacock with his strutting finery and the ape with his
power represent every amusement, every diversion, every possible
attempt to find happiness apart from the plan of God. As Solomon
eventually discovered only through fellowship with God and the pursuit
of His Word can the believer attain stability, contentment of soul, and a
true and enduring happiness.

I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for 
He is right beside me.
Ps. 16:8
