Happiness

[Bob Wille]

“Keep me obedient to your commandments,
because in them I find happiness.”
Psalms 119:35

“God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself,
because it is not there. There is no such thing.”
[C.S. Lewis]

Amen!!! Ain't THAT the truth!!! There is NO peace apart from God. I can NOT believe how long it took me to "grasp" this.....hahaaaa seriously, without God i'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

And about finding DELIGHT in His Word and thus His commandments, it's TRUE, even tho' at first glance it might not seem to be so. The bottom line is, when we know God's "heart", His directives ARE delightful, because HE is delightful. He is the God Who rejoices over us with SINGING.

Now if THAT isn't delightful, i dunno what is.

No WONDER our heart wants to sing out His praises.

Lovely and profound entry today, Bob. It blessed me.

Thank you and God bless you on this cloudy but mild Tuesday morning in January.

Your knowledge of God's Word and application of it
continues to amaze me!
You are truly one of the "chosen ones" in His kingdom.
