Ps Benny Ho - The Pursuit Of Happiness

We tend to equate a happy life with a problem-free life where we get to do anything we want. But when life throws us curve balls or starts to fall apart, happiness seems to be out of reach. Or is it? Is there such a thing as true happiness? Where can it be found?

Yes, our happiness is found in God. Thank to God for all that He has given to us. There is danger in just totally focusing on happiness regardless of ......
"Holiness Before Happiness”
By A.W. Tozer
A selfish desire for happiness is as sinful as any other selfish desire. Its root is in the flesh which can never have any standing before God. “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Romans 8:7).
People are coming more and more to excuse every sort of wrongdoing on the grounds that they are “just trying to secure a little happiness.” It is not uncommon for crimes to be committed against persons who do nothing worse than “jeopardize” someone’s happiness.
That we are born to be happy is scarcely questioned by anyone. The only question before the house is how to get the most happiness out of life. Almost all popular books and plays assume that personal happiness is the legitimate end of the dramatic human struggle.
How far wrong all this is will be discovered easily by the simple act of reading the New Testament through once with meditation. There the emphasis is not upon the happiness but upon the holiness. God is more concerned with the state of people’s hearts than with the state of their feelings. Undoubtedly, the will of God brings final happiness to those who obey, but the most important matter is not how happy we are but how holy.
The childish clamor after happiness can become a real snare. One may easily deceive himself by cultivating a religious joy without a corresponding righteous life. No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he shall be.
For those who take this whole thing seriously, I have one suggestion: Go to God and have an understanding. Tell Him that it is your desire to be holy at any cost, and then ask Him never to give you more happiness than holiness. And ask Him to make you holy whether you are happy or not. Be assured that in the end you will be as happy as you are holy; but for the timing being let your whole ambition be to serve God and be Christlike.
If we dare to take a stand like that we may expect to know a new degree of inward purification. And, God being who He is, we are more than likely to know a new degree of happiness as well, but a happiness that springs out of a more intimate fellowship with God, a happiness that is elevated and unselfish and free from the pollutions of the flesh.
