Happiness
“Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord”
(Psalm 144:15).
God wants us to be happy!
In the United States’ Deceleration of Independence it speaks of the “pursuit of happiness.” In reality, mankind has been searching for happiness and joy since the beginning of time through every avenue imaginable. Some have successfully found it while others have not.
When Satan came to tempt Eve in the Garden of Eden he gave her the impression that God was withholding something that was for the good and pleasure of her and her husband Adam. But in reality they found out that it was not so. To this day, as the result of sin, the world is filled with grief and sorrow, and heartaches and tears abound on every hand. Indeed, there is no one that escapes very long without some sadness in their life.
But there is a source of real and lasting happiness. It is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 16:20 affirms, “Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” True happiness is the result of confidence in Christ.
