GOD WANTS YOU HAPPY

GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU HAPPY

  1. WHEN IT CAUSES YOU TO " SIN ".
    But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do…
    1. WHEN IT IS DRIVEN BY " CIRCUMSTANCES ".
      When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider:
      God has made the one as well as the other.
      I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything
      1. GOD WANTS YOU " BLESSED ".
        blessed: makarios (mak-ar'-ee-os); supremely blessed, happier, " more " than happy.
        Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands.
        Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

          But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
          Who is blessed?
          • The poor in spirit.
            • Those who mourn.
              • The meek.
                • Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
                  • The pure in heart.
                    • Peacemakers
                      • Like the prodigal, in the pursuit of happiness, most people become miserable.
