He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20

 

Happiness is something that is experienced outside the body. It’s the little things, maybe a gift from someone, a beautiful view of large mountains or simply receiving a heart felt smile from someone close. All of these little moments in life make special memories, which can be thought over and over.

 

Happiness, found through obedience in the Lord, takes it much deeper though. When you walk within the Lords will, even your enemies are at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7). Life is filled with more blessings and experiencing God on a deeper level. Nothing should stand in the way of your relationship with Him. When you guard it, you make way for happiness and joy to fill your heart, mind and soul.

 

Are you stumbling through life, looking for long lasting happiness in people, things and experiences?  Turn your focus towards walking closely with the Lord and see the benefits of obedience and finding God’s will for your life. Happiness will soon turn to joy and nothing will diminish your strength, for “the joy of the Lord is my strength”. God bless!
