Goodness and happiness

“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.” - Proverbs 16v20

Goodness and happiness are a couple of things that everyone would like to have. People try to achieve these in a number of ways. After a while they find out that nothing really seems to bring real goodness and happiness. The best job, the most beautiful family, the nicest house, and the fanciest car might bring satisfaction to a certain extent, but they fall short when it comes to true goodness and happiness.

Fortunately there is a way to find goodness and happiness. We find true goodness when we handle things wisely, and true wisdom comes from doing things according to the word of God. True happiness, real, true, deep down happiness comes from a full constant abiding in the Lord and trusting Him. If we could ever learn to REALLY trust Him, then we could happily rest in the knowledge that He is in control and that He knows best.
Happiness is the Lord!
