What makes us truly Happy?

25 Sep What makes us truly Happy?

🎯This pursuit of happiness is a driving force for many people.

💥But the question continually is asked, what does it take to be happy?

🎯A recent poll revealed that only a third of Americans are very happy. What makes the difference?

🎯One main factor was being “religious.” Those considered religious are more likely to be very happy than those who don’t consider themselves religious.

🎯And those who attend religious services regularly are more likely to be very happy than those who don’t.

🎯These conclusions point us toward Biblical truths. But there we see that real change does not result just from being “religious” but making Jesus our Lord.

🎯Having a personal relationship with God; being filled with the Spirit.

🎯Many people make this quest difficult but the Bible says it really is simple:

💥Those “whose God is the Lord” are “happy, blessed, fortunate, prosperous, and to be envied.”

🎯This is a consistent message throughout the Bible.

💥We are happy when we find God’s wisdom and gain His understanding.

💥We are happy when we show mercy to the poor,

💥We are happy when we trust Him; fear Him, and keep His laws

💥We are happy as we worship Him and walk in the light of His presence

🎯The world promises many paths to happiness.

🎯But Believers know that true happiness is found only in God.

🎯This results in a lasting joy, and a countenance that shows the difference He makes.

🎯With Him in our lives, we are blessed, fortunate, prosperous, and to be envied.
