We long for happiness and contentment, so we seek. Our search leads us through family, friends,
careers, and ventures. Here we find ups
and downs. Our zest rises and falls. Placing our hope in things other than God
can never bring contentment. Scripture labels this as idolatry. God has set us
here to love Him, and serve Him, and to be happy with Him in heaven. He
provides every gift we receive and every means to accomplish our goals. When we
place our hope in Him alone, the longing we feel deep inside will be filled.
If you swear, "As
Yahweh lives!" truthfully, justly, uprightly, then the nations will bless
themselves by him and glory in him. - Jeremiah 4:2
