Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
What will make you happy? Will that new car make you happy? Will that new home make you happy? How about a new job? What about a new spouse, will that make you happy?
It seems that there is always "something else" that will make us happy.
Then, after we have obtained that new object of our affection, we find that the happiness was temporary and we must find something else to sustain our happiness.
The psalmist reminds us in this scripture that everlasting happiness is found only with God. God has promised us a joy that can never fade if we will only follow the path that He has made for us.
Today, don't strive too much for temporary happiness. Strive to obtain the eternal happiness that can only be found through Him.
