Title: Is There Real Happiness In Life?

Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 2:17 - 26

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing Day with Jesus!  Ecclesiastes 2:17-26

Wow! King Solomon's words today just pierced directly to the heart.  Truly, there's no true happiness that only man can attain.  They say happiness is a decision, if that's the case, isn't it just like faking it until you make it?  So Solomon here concluded that real happiness attained by human is a myth.  You work hard then end up dead and leave everything you've achieved to someone who can be worthy or unworthy of it all.  It's a sad thing to think about as there's no happiness in having fun nor is there in working hard.  That's why he said, eat, drink and enjoy the work that you must do.  Make it balance.  Have fun and achieve something but do not make it your life.  So why even work or do good if everything is useless as Solomon said it is?  Well, Solomon himself answered that in verse 26, when we do good, God will give us wisdom, knowledge, and the best part is...JOY!  Happiness may be fake but Joy isn't and God is the author of our joy and He gives it to those who do good.  So don't try to have fun all the time or give everything you have to your work, in the end it will all be useless.  Instead, do good because real joy comes from God alone.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for this wonderful wisdom.  Thank You for reminding me to have a balance life.  Thank You for reminding me that my work is not my life because my life is You.  Help me Lord to balance everything and when i say balance, You get 100% of me.  Help me Lord that in everything I do, whether I work or have fun, I do it all for Your glory and honor.  Help me to always do good because real joy comes only from You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
