Fulfillment - Where do you find the substance of life itself? Where is joy and fulfillment found in this life?
In Proverbs 8, wisdom who is Jesus Christ personified states in verse 20-21, "I lead in the way of righteousness... that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures."
"substance" is a word closely akin to our English concept of being verbs; the state of being. It means to stand out, or exist. Jesus Christ is the source of a fulfilled life. You may pursue riches, recognition, and relationships for fulfillment, but only Christ can give your life substance. The fullest life to live is a life lived pursuing Jesus Christ!
