FROM TODAYS DAILY REFLECTION: It may seem at times that those who party all the time are having the most fun. And, for a while, they may be having the most fun, if you want to call it that. But, Ephesians 4:19 reveals something profoundly true and important. Excessive sensuality, while it appears to augment our feelings of happiness, actually has the opposite effect over time. ...When we continue to indulge in immoral sensual actions, we end up dulling our feelings, not enhancing them. We become callous to the pain that our sinful actions cause, both to ourselves and to others. And, in our desire for more fun, we dive deeper into the pool of hedonistic behavior. Yet our happiness is fleeting, and feelings of true joy cannot fill our hardened hearts. Ephesians 4:19 focuses on the negative results of carnal excess. It assumes what is not stated here, namely, that experiencing the life of God and living according to his wisdom is not only right, but also THE WAY OF TRUE JOY. AND SOMETIMES, IT IS DOWNRIGHT FUN. **May you experience true joy today!
