“The springs of the joy of a carnal worldling lie in wealth and pleasure; but the springs of the joy of a gracious soul lie in the word of God and prayer.” Matthew Henry. 

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. Psalms 87:7 


I won’t deny that the things I have set up around me in my home are delightful and calming, so that we live peacefully. Your home should be a reflection of the things you love, not just a look conjured up by HGTV, building contractors, and furniture companies. However, though these things might be delightful, they do not feed the soul; they are only worldly pleasures. What truly fulfills you and brings you joy is your connection to God and your relationship with Jesus, guided by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the spring that feeds our souls, and no amount of wealth can compare to wells bubbling up from within us from that relationship. If you want to fight the good fight of faith, then work on your relationship with Jesus; that battle has already been won. It’s just a matter of applying it to your life. Don’t wait for something better to come along; live your best life now. Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. Tap into those springs and live in your eternity now.
