True Happiness
“Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord”
(Psalm 144:15).
Have you ever sat on a bench in a shopping mall and watched people walking by, or sat in an airport and observed those who are hurrying to catch a plane? If you have, you’ve probably noticed many faces that seem distant or unhappy. I have noticed many blank stares that may be the result of stark, cold humanism and selfish living. Yes, the world is certainly filled with a lot of unhappy people.
Does this description apply to you? If so, ask yourself, Why? Even Christians can fall into this trap and find themselves in a state of unhappiness. Sad to say, there are many true believers who are living for themselves and wondering where their joy has gone. Only a life lived for Christ and in the service of others is a truly happy life.
When the Queen of Sheba visited king Solomon, one of the things she noted regarding the men and servants of his court was, “Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom” (1 Kings 10:8).
Could someone say that about you?
