Want to learn a dangerous truth? God wants us to be happy! Why is that truth dangerous? Because it is so misunderstood. God demands that our happiness be found in the right place; HIM! The essence of idolatry is valuing something higher than we do God. It’s finding our joy in something other than God. When we find our happiness in the fruit of the tree instead of in the maker of the tree it is an insult to God. He promises so much. He proves to be infinitely faithful. May we seek fulfillment Him instead of in other things.
