HAPPY IN THE LORD
Today's reading: Psalm 96-98

"May all who are godly be happy in the Lord and praise his holy name!" Psalm 97:12 NLT

The Lexicon gives several synonyms for being 'happy in the Lord'...

-Joyful
-Cheerful
-Glad
-Merry
-Pleased

Those words cause me to pause and think about the attitude I'm conveying to the world as a Christian.

Am I...

-Joyful
-Cheerful
-Glad
-Merry
-Pleased

Oh, not in the world. Or in the things going on in the world. Or in the sins running so rampant. Or in the current events. Or in the state of affairs this country is in.

The verse says I should be glad, as one of His, because of Him.

Happy in the Lord--because of all He's done, all He's conquered, all He's promised, all He's in control of, all He's given me and because of all He is.
