Where do you seek pleasure? What is it that vies for your attention? Are you paying too much for too little? Are you seeking things, relationships or experiences in attempt to fill a void in your life, only to find that there is no real satisfaction? These are serious questions. We live in a world where our senses are bombarded constantly. We are erroneously programmed to believe that our happiness in life will be the result of the pursuit of that which we believe will give us pleasure. True pleasure is found in the presence of God. Everything else is temporary. He alone can fulfill the deepest need to be satisfied. There is a place in each human being that is designed only for Him to occupy. God is not against us having pleasurable experiences. All good gifts come from Him. However, if we seek pleasure to run from pain, or to prop up our self-worth, we are only going to find a temporary "high" or a temporary "fix". The fullness of joy will always be found in relationship with Him.
