“There’s a way of life that looks harmless enough; look again—it leads straight to hell. Sure, those people appear to be having a good time, but all that laughter will end in heartbreak.” (Proverbs 14:12–13, The Message)
The wisdom of Solomon here. So many people live their lives pursuing what seems good, fun, or will make them happy for the moment. "Look again" says Solomon, that path "leads straight to hell." Sin looks fun for the moment, "but all that laughter will end in heartbreak."
Oh how we need the wisdom and insight to understand that the temporary is not worth pursuing and and ends in tears. The eternal—following Christ and his way—will cost something in the short run but ends in a weight of glory beyond all comparison. One might say that tears now end in joy for eternity.
Yep. That's what I'm after.
