Solomon had unbelievable wisdom and wealth, yet he was consumed with a frantic search for happiness. The book of Ecclesiastes tells us about it. Human viewpoint says people, things or circumstances can make you happy and it’s not true. What makes you happy is to renovate your thinking. Don’t think as the world thinks—you are just a sojourner in this devil’s world. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). If you get out of fellowship with God and search for happiness eventually you’ll end right back where you started - operation boomerang. “The wind goes toward the south and turns to the north. It whirls around continually and returns to its circuits” (Eccl 1:6). Solomon’s departure from the Lord led him to seven different substitutes he hoped would fill the emptiness in his heart, but they didn’t. Unhappy people take their unhappiness with them wherever they go. "The pursuit of happiness causes bad decisions which only intensify one’s unhappiness. There is no true happiness for the believer apart from the execution of the protocol plan of God,” R. B. Thieme Jr.’s The Pursuit of Happiness is available free of charge by calling 713. 621.3740.
