Our Key To Happiness!
"He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he."
Proverbs 16: 20
Happy birthday, Adell Julie Green Thompson! The “rock” of her
family recently turned 105, and she gave all credit to the Lord.
Her daughter, Maxine, said, “She trusted God from a little girl.
She was always worshiping God and praying. She’s a unique
person…. She likes reading her Bible.”
And her grandson Anthony added, “Her faith is so inspiring.
Even at her age, she’s still reading her daily devotional. It’s
just remarkable how the grace of God and the love of God
have just been on her life.”
Trusting God is a tonic for the body, mind, and soul.
The Bible doesn’t often use the word happy.
Biblical
writers preferred to write about joy.
But Proverbs 16:20 doesn’t hesitate to tell us that trusting
God brings happiness to our heart. It enables us to cast our
cares on Him, focus
on His nearness, feed on His promises,
anticipate His coming, and share His
message.
No matter what is happening around
us, we can always trust God.
"A key to enjoying the Christian life
is connecting the dots between our
happinessand God’s provision."
