October 15 - Happiness.

Proverbs 16:20
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.”
 
True happiness is only found by trusting in the LORD.
 
Psalm 2:12
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
 
Psalm 34:8
“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
 
To trust in the Lord is to wait on Him.
There is grace and mercy in waiting and trusting.
Isaiah 30:18
“And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.”
 
To trust in the Lord is to hope in Him.
Jeremiah 17:7
“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the Lord is.”
 
Psalm 146:5
“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:”
 
May we seek today to wait and hope in the Lord and trust that He does all things well, for it is only then that we will find true happiness.
