Pleasures are Meaningless

Galatians 5:17
   - Our flesh and the spirit do not conform
   - Worldly pleasures and the desire of God for us cannot be on the same boat
   - We are given the free will to choose, but we are eager for adoption in the spirit when we have the firstfruits of the spirit (Romans 8:23)

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
Then, we will find true happiness. In the given text, King Solomon said that he has tried all pleasures and have not found them satisfying in the end. I remembered all those times I had been in the same situation. I drank for consecutive days with my friends and yeah, they were fun. But each day I woke up, I found myself looking for the flighty happiness, wondering if it's even true. I was convicted, yes, but more than that was the sadness brought about by pretention. It was ten times greater than the sadness I felt before I even let alcohol take the night away.

Hence, walk in the light. See the truth offered before your eyes. Days will be brighter, I tell you. You won't be mistaking dusk for dawn.
