How to be Happy

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel

            Of the wicked

Or stand in the way of sinners

            Or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the

            LORD,

And on his law he meditates day

            And night.

He is like a tree planted by streams

            Of water,

            Which yields its fruit in season

And whose leaf does not wither.

            Whatever he does prospers. Psalm 1:1-3 

All over the place today, in colleges, in high schools and even in grade schools, they are planning classes to help people be happy. Here in Psalm 1:1-3 is a reasonable explanation of how to be blessed and/or happy. 

Way back in the Old Testament, it was explained how to be delighted by the law of the Lord, be planted in a beautiful place and have enough water and food to eat. It even says the walk of the law of the Lord will make a man be prosperous. 

For this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:15

Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, you have made us be happy knowing our sins are forgiven because our Lord and Savior, your only son, Jesus Christ, died for us. He died in order that we would be saved and have eternal life in heaven. In Jesus Name, Amen.
