The Pursuit of Happiness

Wow! What a week this has been. Rangers are going to the World Series, Crisps had another child, and

I was reading in Psalms this week and of course it spoke to my heart. In the first chapter it give the key for happiness. "How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked... His delight is in the Lord's instruction." (vs 1-2)
I am so glad that our church is involved with Boldcourse. It is a great plan for letting God take control and "instruct" us. He will always be faithful and meet with us to give us His perfect instructions. You see the person who hears the word of the Lord and does not follow is like the wicked. They will be like the chaff and will be blown away with the wind. However, to be HAPPY, is to delight in the Lord's instruction AND meditate on it day and night.
As we close out this week and look back... were we happy? Were we following God's instruction? It is easy to  get caught up in life's ebb and flow. But do we truly find the happiness that God has for us? It tends to be a facade and only lasts for a while. This week end and next week look back at the difference that being in God's word has made. List all of the things that made you happy before and then make a list f things that made you happy after being in God's Word.
