Happy and Hopeful
It might have been natural, but it wasn’t wise. The psalmist repeated this refrain: “Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!” (144:15) That means people whose hope and trust are in the Lord, not in military might or alliances with non-believers. The same is as true for individuals as it is for nations—our hope is to be in God.
Be one of the happy people by making the Lord your God your ally, your help, and your hope.
Happiness in God involves an act of will toward the God who’s there and who loves us.
