The second paragraph of the first article in the Declaration of Independence contains the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Jefferson’s “original rough draft” is on exhibit in the Library of Congress.
Does the Bible speak of pursuits? Glad you asked.
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
Proverbs 21:21
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
What do you pursue? Give it some thought.
