“Let’s Get Happy!”

”Oh Taste and see that the Lord is Good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” Psalms 34:8

What does the Word of God say about being happy?  Does it say that if we get everything that we want, then we’ll be happy?  The Word of God has a lot to say about happiness.  Christ wants us to be happy in Him.  As believers, or as Christians, we truly can be happy in Him because He is constant, and He never changes (Hebrews 13:8).  He is the Word and His Word never changes.  We can be confident in knowing that regardless of the situation that we find ourselves in, our eternal happiness can be secured.

In this world, we’re going to have troubles, trials, and tribulations, but be of good cheer because He, Christ, has overcome the world (John 16:33).We can take hold of this truth and maintain our peace, our happiness, and our joy.COVID-19 has wrecked the lives of so many across our nation.Lives were lost due to sickness, homes were lost due to financial burdens, businesses shuttered, relationships broken, and the list continues. In all of these things, the joy of the Lord IS our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).God wants us to be happy. Psalm 37:4 reads, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”Words in the Bible such as rejoice, be of good cheer, do not be afraid, and give thanks are all different ways of God instructing us to be happy.Being obedient to God’s Word can bring true happiness.
