Where is happiness found?

Is it found in a spouse? Our children? Family and friends? A job?

We can only find TRUE happiness within the Lord. We won’t find TRUE happiness with anyone or anything else, unless we realize they are the blessings that God gives us when we seek happiness with Him.

That’s where true happiness is found.

When we feel a void in life, or human emotions start to filter in, and we feel lonely or sad, that void can’t be filled with the world. We shouldn’t try to seek happiness from family, because they can’t fill that void. That kind of happiness will be short-lived because He wants us to find it with HIM first.

Seek Him first. Pray without ceasing. Fill your heart and mind with His Word. Talk to Him daily. Sing songs of worship. Do a Bible study. Read the Songs of Zion. Saturate yourself and family in prayer. Tell others about Him and what He’s done in your life.

He will not only bless you with joy and happiness, but every time you see your spouse, children, family, friends, church family, and work family, you will be reminded of the many blessings He has blessed you with.

Fill your cup with Him, and He will fill it with happiness.

“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4)

P.R.A.Y.

I recently read a little devotional on effectual praying, and it really touched my heart. The message is too good not to share it with you. It turned the word “PRAY” into an acrostic. P: Praise His name, give Him all glory! Thank Him for everything He has...
