The older we become, it seems the faster the days slip by. Science has been able to add years to life, but our greatest problem is how to add life to years. How can we make the most out of life? The joy of living is not found necessarily in many years of existence. Let us think of the man who is usually referred to as living the longest amount of years ever recorded, Methuselah (Gen. 5:27). This is all we know about him. Perhaps he never accomplished one worthwhile thing.
Just as long years do not necessary add up to happy living, even so successful living is not totally dependent on an abundance of learning. Solomon was the wisest man of all ages (except our Lord) yet he exclaimed, "For in much wisdom is much grief." (Ecc. 1:18). Knowledge is good, but when it does not include God, leads to sorrow, not happiness.
More on happiness tomorrow..... have a great Saturday!
