In The Pursuit of Happiness

“Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.” Psalm 34:14

The continued instruction of David is of great advantage to those that will listen and pursue it.  Good advice is better than the deception of fools. It is better to follow the path of one who has walked the path before than to walk behind a tenderfoot. 

“Depart from evil” for in doing so you will add many days to your life!

“Do good” and have the ability of lifting your head high!

“Seek peace” to all you meet and anguish will flee from you!

“Pursue it” with all your heart, mind and soul, let nothing hinder you!

A wise reminder from a godly person,

Is more precious than all the gold.

Showing you the good path to walk,

Are the best words you’ll be told.

To heed to them is wise my friend,

To pursue them will keep you whole.

They’ll give you peace in this life,

Happiness is the only goal!

“The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:2-7
