If you asked a hundred people if they’d like to be happy, the overwhelming response would be ‘yes.’ Everybody wants to be happy right? In that case why are so many people unhappy?
The secret to being happy is to discover what brings happiness. Some people think wealth will make them happy. Winning the lottery will do it right? Wrong! More people are made unhappy in their search to win the lottery. They are also made poorer. What about power? Will that make you happy? Probably not because with power comes tremendous responsibility. How about popularity? Many of the people I see who are popular spend a lot of time in rehab trying to get their life straightened out. They don’t seem to be very happy.
You can find happiness if you look in the right place. And the best place to look is in God’s Word. Consider the following verses regarding happiness:
Proverbs 16:30: “He who gives heed to the Word will prosper and happy is he who trusts in the Lord.”
Proverbs 8:32: “And now my son, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways.”
Psalms 34:8 says: “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. Happy is the man who takes refuge in Him.”
Happiness is not a state of mind; it is a state of being. Becoming a follower of God through Jesus Christ leads us to true happiness.
