Our lives are in God’s hands, and we can’t make them happy even if we want to. To be happy, all we need is God’s presence. Things that make us happy are fleeting, but true satisfaction comes from God.
Though it may be challenging at times when we commit our lives to God’s will, we eventually find joy and satisfaction.
The bible is a source of joy, and by applying the scriptures to our lives, we can make ourselves happy. With it, we renew our old man and eventually transform into a new person made in God’s righteousness.
