Wanna be happy?
Psalm 37:4
"Delight youself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart."
Wow! Did you know we are commanded to be happy. We don't have to be miserable and just do our duty. In fact, we have the greatest One of all promising to fullfill our greatest dream- to be happy. He says He will give us the "...desires of our heart." The promise giver could not be more trustworthy (if He says He will, then He can and will deliver), and the promise could not be sweeter (what could you want more than the desires of your heart?).
There is a catch. The Promise Maker, is the one we are to delight in. Our desires are to have Him at the root. Bottom line is, if we want to be happy, if we want to be holy, if we want the promises of God to be promises to us, then we must set our hearts and our eyes and our hopes on Him. He will make us happy- with Himself.
Oh, I believe- help me Lord, my unbelief!
