Everything God Has Created Is Both For Our Pleasure & For Our Good

God made all the greatest necessities of life very pleasurable--breathing, eating, sleeping, exercising & sex. "Thou hast created all things, & for Thy pleasure they are & were created." (Rev.4:11) God created us to enjoy all these things. He created the very nerves which feel good & the senses which feel pleasant. He gifted us to be able to look upon things which are pleasing to the eye, to taste things which are delicious, to hear beautiful music, to feel pleasurable sensations of touch & to smell the lovely fragrance of a flower.

Pleasure is God-created for our good! But some people have been taught that all pleasure is sinful & wicked, & that they shouldn't be happy, & they shouldn't have pleasure. But the only connotation in which the Bible mentions pleasure as being wrong is where it is put before Godliness, before the Lord & obedience to His Word.

Just remember, the greatest happiness comes not in your personal pursuit of pleasure & satisfaction, but in finding God & giving His life to others & bringing them happiness! Be sure you put God first, & then you can have all this & Heaven too! (See Psa.37:4; Mat.6:33.)
