Don't Worry, Be Happy

Psalm 1:1-3

A few years ago there was a silly song that became quite popular. It was entitled "Don't Worry, Be Happy". It didn't say much other than repeating that phrase over and over. If all it took to 'Be Happy' was to just say it over and over, we would have a world full of people who were happy all the time! But, as you know, there is more to happiness than that. The Bible word for happy is 'blessed'. David describes for us the man who is blessed or happy.

The apostle Paul tells us that God is the source of our blessings or happiness, and that He has blessed us in many ways. [2]

Think with me today of just a few of those blessings.

A. The Blessing of Forgiveness

B. The Blessing of Satisfaction

C. The Blessing of Obedience

D. The Blessing of Trusting God

Are we happy today? The source of happiness is the Lord. He longs to bless our lives if we will just allow Him to do so. There is so much happiness for the believer in Christ…

What about you today? Do you know the blessing of His forgiveness? Are you satisfied in Christ today? Are we enjoying His blessings through our obedience to His Word? Are we trusting Him every day? Be happy today…in Christ!
