God’s Encouraging Word of the day

“Happy are the people whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.”

Psalm 84:5

God tells us to be happy more times in scripture than any other command. Just think about that for a moment. Commands such as “rejoice,” “be of good cheer,” “do not be afraid,” “give thanks,” these are all ways of God telling us to be happy.

God is our strength, and our happiness is found there, in Him. It makes sense that when we try to live our lives on our own strength, we won’t find happiness. We are more likely to live lonely, wrestle worry, fight fear, and dwell in despair. God’s strength allows us to surrender the weight of our worry to Him and walk in the joy of that freedom.

God Bless You
