David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 4th February 2025
“All men…are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” These famous words from the American Declaration of Independence have been criticized by some who say that Americans believe it is their right to be happy.
In modern terms, happiness usually refers to laughter—an emotional response to life’s circumstances. It is worth noting that there is no reference in the four Gospels to Jesus laughing (though He undoubtedly did when appropriate). Far more prevalent in Scripture is the notion of joy and the idea of contentment. Contentment is the idea of finding joy in the will of God whatever the circumstance. Jesus didn’t laugh in the Garden of Gethsemane as He contemplated His future death, but He was content with God’s will for Him at that moment.
True joy and contentment are found in the Person of Christ. Our pursuit of happiness must lead us to joy and contentment in Him.
If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
Charles Spurgeon
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Leviticus 22:1 – 23:44 (NIV)
