God wants us to be happy. But what does that look like? How do we find happiness? The only way to find happiness is through Him. He created us! God knows us better than we know ourselves. Some of His ways may seem mysterious at first, but here are a few verses that show where true contentment and joy is found—in Him!
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
Proverbs 10:28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
Ecclesiastes 9:7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works
Psalm 144:15 Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!
The struggle for happiness is real in a world of business and worry! But the truth of the matter is, we were made to be happy. The Bible tells us so.
John 15:7 tells us, we have his word in us. “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Therefore Read the word, remember the word, and pray in light of the things you learn in the word. This is how we can find and know true happiness.
