Pleasure and prosperity comes from pursuing peace. We tend
to equate pleasure and prosperity with possessions or at least the resources
to live free from want. But it seems no matter how much one has there is always
room in our wanting for just a little bit more. Those who seek the Lord and live in
reverent fear – which simply means acknowledging that God is God and we are not
– lack nothing that is good. That is not to say life is free of difficulties
but rather that one’s perspective changes about the
pleasure the world pursues when one seeks the peace that passes understanding. To
turn from evil and do good is to be at peace with God and self and neighbor
which is as good as it gets.
