Proverbs 21:17 "He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man..."
People are often seeking happiness through moments of pleasure. Unfortunately, our happiness is not ultimately derived from the pleasures that we experience in this life. The Bible does explain that while there me be some moments of pleasure from sin, but it is not lasting and in the end it only brings turmoil, sadness, distress, and death.

Many have ruined their lives by seeking happiness from a moment of pleasure. Think about it: The man with a bottle... The girl with her boyfriend...The man with a magazine or website. I could on and on.
The main thing we must remember is that moments of pleasure do not bring lasting happiness. However a life of happiness does bring great pleasure.
The following verses in the Bible explain how to have a life of happiness:
- Psalm 144:15
- Psalm 146:5
- Proverbs 3:1-18
- Proverbs 16:20
- Proverbs 29:18
