Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to a village, the people are so happy. And I take their photographs, and I send them to the donor, and the donor is happy. The donor gives because he believes in God and wants to keep God’s command of helping others. And the receivers are also happy because they know that all good gifts come from God. Let us enjoy God’s gifts, but let us remember to share.

Without him, hmm. And you know, the Lord says…

But let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable gold of a gentle and quiet spirit, which, in God’s sight, is very precious.” Some of us decorate ourselves with gold and silver, putting on expensive things. But that’s not the…

What Brings True Happiness
Roman 15, verse two says, “Let each of us please his neighbor “for his good to edify him.” Sometimes, some of us think that happiness comes from pleasing ourselves. Some in money, some in houses, some in cars, some in sex, but that does not bring happiness. So look for happiness, true happiness. It comes more from pleasing others. That’s what brings happiness. So do acts of…
