"Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?"
Job 20:4-5
This is a good reminder that there is only one way to true, lasting joy, and that is through Christ. We do see temporary joy in other things, and by other means, but none of that lasts. Getting new stuff might be cool, and dloing things that we know are illegal or forbidden might be exciting for a time, but none of that lasts, and these substitutes for true joy will eventually be gone, leaving us without that source of joy, and often with regret and pain instead.
Today, let's move forward seeking the true and lasting joy that comes from God.
