Happiness for a Christian
Today, as we enter into a new year, I decided to think about what could possibly help make me happy.
So after not being able to figure anything out, I decided to see what the Bible said about being Happy.
I computer searched the word “Happy” and found it mentioned 25 times. Aha, OK said I as I started to read on each reference.
Here is a brief list:
# 1 (I Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye)
#2 (James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure affliction)
#3 (Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth)
#4 (Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth God always.)
#5 (I Peter 3:14 But if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye)
#6 (John 13:16 The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.)
Suddenly, I felt so much happier!
