“Without revelation people run wild, but one who follows divine instruction will be happy.” (v. 18)
Maybe you’ve tried every other thing.
You’ve tried politics. You’ve tried self-help. You’ve tried essential oils and organic vegetables. You’ve even tried reimagined identities.
You’ve been out here, running wild.
Would you like to know where real happiness is, where home is?
It’s not in all the other things you’ve tried in all the other places.
It’s here, in God’s Word, which is light for your path.
When you are rooted in truth—when you know why things are and where things are going, when you see it all through the lens of Christ the Victor—you are also rooted in peace. When you discover (and keep rediscovering) the way to every good outcome—and when you walk it, in obedience—you also discover happiness.
Chasing after the other stuff will leave you tired, broke, and in the dark. Running wild. But the revelation of God? It leads you rightly.
