Pursue Better Pleasure

How’s your pleasure meter? What are you pursuing? Are the things your pursuing and seeking pleasure through temporary or of eternal?

Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor. —Proverbs 21:21

Living righteously is a factor that contributes to the prosperity of the wise. Notice the treasures in this proverb: life, righteousness, and honor. The wise enjoy both the temporal things that money can buy and also the priceless things that make life truly meaningful. These treasures belong to those who pursue or chase righteousness and kindness. To show kindness is to show a faithful, steadfast, covenant love. Faithfulness to God is in view here. These incomparable riches are reserved for those who walk faithfully with God, those who pursue His righteousness.

Pursue a better pleasure. One that will bring joy forevermore. Gladness is yours for the taking.
