Proverbs 14:27
It is rumored that Ponce de Leon discovered Florida while searching for the Fountain of Youth. While he never found the restorative powers of the Fountain of Youth, he did discover something that continues to be a favorite destination of many people.
Many today mirror the tale - we are in constant search of an elusive goal but yet find treasures that we never sought. Sadly, we are focused on the insignificant rather than focusing on what is important. Solomon tries to refocus our attention on what is important in the verse above. Simply, put God first. If we seek Him, he will enlighten us to become better Christians. As a result, our attention will be on the items with an eternal value vice the fleeting fancies of this world.
Find the fountain of life, as promised by Jesus in John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Have you found your fountain?
