Real Happiness

From: Powerpoint Daily Devotionals

Psalm 112:1 "Happy the man who honors the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands."

Happiness should never be the major goal of your life because real happiness can only be a byproduct of your real purpose, which must be something greater than yourself. Whatever it is that motivates your life must be something big enough to make living worthwhile.

So what is the prime purpose for which God made you? Your purpose is to bring glory to God. God has a plan for everything that happens to you. And that plan is for you to be used as an instrument of his glory.

Are you willing to let God be God even when you don’t understand what’s going on? Are you willing to trust God that He knows what He’s doing when the hard times of life hit? It’s in your dependence upon Him that He is most glorified in your life. So in the good times and the bad, trust fully that He’s doing something great with you and then you’ll experience real happiness.
