Many seek for happiness in wealth, possessions, and pleasure, only to be ultimately disappointed!
Many seek happiness in various sins, but any such “pleasure” is of course passing, and leads to hell.
The book of Psalms with its very first Psalm shares with us the key to true happiness
Other parts of the Bible also share with us this same key to true happiness …
g., We started this morning with Solomon … let’s go back to his inspired findings:
12:13-14 The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because thisapplies toevery person. 14 For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
Prov. 3:13 How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.

5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life andalsofor thelifeto come.
The way to true happiness:

Acts 2:41-42 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. 42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
