Today’s Verse:
O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in Him. – Psalm 34:8
As humans, we derive happiness from many things like achievements, gifts, surprises, etc. These are all good things God has given us. However, the happiness we feel from these worldly things is fleeting, we will have to achieve again, get another gift, or be surprised again. We can continuously be chasing temporary happiness.
However, our God provides us everlasting happiness in Him that surpasses understanding. It prevails through pain, darkness, confusion, and uncertainty. Psalm 89:15 says, “Happy are the people who know the festival shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.” How wonderful it is to realize that our God has a plan, our God makes the hard decisions, our God speaks to us, our God is never surprised. How wonderful it is to be in relationship with Him, talk with Him, and hear Him. Be assured He will guide us through life, and He has a wonderful plan for us all. – Commentary by Kristina Taylor
Today’s Prayer:
Lord, I pray Your people will rest in You. That they would find a balance between continual happiness in You while enjoying the blessings You give us in this world. Amen.
