Metter, Georgia The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every American “the pursuit of happiness.” But it does not guarantee the possession of happiness. Is there anyone who does? The Lord. Declared the sacred singer in Psalm 112:1, “Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.” The word “blessed” means happy. And the word “feareth” does not speak of dread but of dependence. Who is the happy one? The one who depends upon the Lord for His salvation and delights in His Word for his satisfaction. Want to be happy? Quit being gripey and start being grateful. Quit hating people and start loving them. Quit doing wrong and start doing right. Quit undermining the mind with doubts and start undergirding it with devo tions. Quit living for self and start living for others. Quit making prayer the last resort and start making it the first resort. Just about everybody knows what to do to be happy. But it takes more than acquaintance, it takes action. Our Lord Himself said in John 13:17, “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”
