October 7 Devotion - Be Happy

 Whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Proverbs 16:20, Psalm 16:11

هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَثِقُ بِاللهِ

مَعكَ أشبَعُ سُرُورا.
أسْعَدُ، وَأنا بِجانِبِكَ، إلَى الأبَدِ!

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven

هُناكَ وَقتٌ لِكُلِّ شَيءٍ. وَلِكُلِّ شَيءٍ فِي هَذا العالَمِ وَقتٌ مُناسِبٌ.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Today I choose to make it a time to be happy, to be in God’s presence and therefore be full of joy, and stay at His right hand and find pleasures forevermore.  

You may say this is not sound doctrine, and I reply: Be happy and rejoice for this is the day The LORD has made.

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

هَذا هُوَ اليَومُ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ اللهُ،
لِنَبتَهِجْ وَنَفرَحْ فِيهِ!

Psalm 118:24

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:   

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, inseparable and everlasting love. Heavenly Father, please continue to teach me to trust in You so that I can be transformed to be Christlike, to feel Your joy, to be happy, to live Your good and pleasing will for my life. A life full of pleasures forevermore. Lord, fill my heart with laughter and my tongue with songs of joy in appreciation of your blessings bringing all my thoughts into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I pray in Jesus’ mighty name, to Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

  

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
