Many are the blessing of the Lord; mercy, forgiveness, love, peace and joy are but a few.
God doesn't want you happy when it causes you to do something wrong or unwise
God doesn't want you happy when it's only based on things of this world
Truth is, God wants you blessed; that is greater than the happiness the world speaks of.
He wants us to honor Him with our daily choices and overall lifestyle. According to the Bible, there is right and wrong. And when something is wrong, God says "don't do it" – even if we think it makes us happy.
Our way of thinking and God's way of thinking is vastly different.
So what does that look like? How do we find happiness and joy? The only way is through Him. He created us! God knows us better than we know ourselves. Some of His ways may seem strange at first, but true contentment and joy is found—in Him!
Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Proverbs 16:20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
Psalm 144:15 Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Ecclesiastes 2:26A For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight;
1 Peter 1:14-16So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am holy."
In my opinion being blessed by God is far greater than anything this world offers. Being happy in this world is temporary but blessings from God are forever.
Happiness in the world is limited, but with God it is limitless.
Many are the blessing of the Lord; mercy, forgiveness, love, peace and joy are but a few.
