Chasing Euphoria

Jehovah Jireh, our God provides!

Euphoria is a state of intense happiness, well-being and contentment.

We’re always looking for this pinnacle of the human experience, which the world will tell us is found in our endeavors, material gains and achievements.

But where does true happiness and contentment come from?

1 Timothy 6:3-8 NLT
[3] Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life. [4] Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. [5] These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy. [6] Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. [7] After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. [8] So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.

The feelings of happiness, joy and peace that come from material wealth and gain are temporary. Trophies, awards, milestones, etc, are short lived and temporary at best. But true contentment that lasts forever, into eternity comes by knowing that all we have in this life comes from the hand of God. God is our provider. He supplies all our need.
