"The Pursuit of Happiness: Finding It in Wisdom"
Proverbs 3:13
New Living Translation
13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.
You're probably familiar with the saying “Ignorance is bliss.” It's tempting to live that way, isn't it? While it's sometimes better to be in the dark and not have to deal with the drama of a situation, Scripture says that it is actually wisdom and understanding that bring happiness.
Happiness comes when we gain the wisdom needed to make our way in this world. The Bible contains all the wisdom we need to handle any situation we may encounter or to navigate the most complicated of relationships.
Happiness also comes when we understand who we are in Christ. We were created by God and in His image. We have good works to do and have been given the gifts necessary to do them. We are so loved that Christ laid Many people wander because they are lost; they don't understand who they are or why they're here, and their lack of understanding is far from blissful. We don't have to live that way. Let's beseekers of wisdom and people of understanding; this is the way to happiness.
