The Pursuit of Happiness

A Meditation on Proverbs 8

Proverbs 8 teaches us that God used wisdom to establish the world (Prov 8:22-31). This truth highlights the significance of divine wisdom, which we need to perform any important task in life (Prov. 8:15-16). Moreover, we should pursue happiness by seeking wisdom because true happiness does not come from wealth, health, or sin. Instead, it comes from obtaining God’s favor through seeking His wisdom (Prov 8:10,19). Thus, wisdom plays an essential role in our lives and the writer of Proverbs encourages us to pursue it with diligence and devotion.
