DEVOTIONS

Happiness is...

9/4/2017

​Psalm 1:4

 Vs. 4 – This is a contrast of the happy life.  A happy person rooted in God will be healthy, fruitful and prosperous but the person who seeks happiness in anything other than God will experience a fleeting happiness.  It is a type of happiness that may bring happiness for season but when the storms of life pick up so goes their happiness.  This is the person who has no faith in God and thinks he is happy.  The fact remains this persons happiness is grounded in things that will flee or will disappoint.  There will always be better jobs, bigger houses, newer cars, more money to be made, more stuff to buy etc. and when  one of these fails you or stops bringing happiness to you, then the world can seem bleak or depressing, so you either wallow in misery or go out and find something else to bring a temporary joy which will eventually let you down.

We have happiness in God through Jesus Christ.  We know true happiness and we know true joy.  May we all completely understand today that apart from God the worldly mindset essentially has nothing to offer us in regards to happiness.  Apart from God  your marriage, your family, your relationships, the materials things of the world can’t bring happiness.  The source of joy and happiness can only be found in God through Jesus Christ.
