The Bible Shows the Way to True Happiness, June 5
Christians Are Truly Happy
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all
riches.... I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy
word.
Psalm 119:14-16
The Bible presents to our view the unsearchable riches and immortal
treasures of heaven. Man’s strongest impulse urges him to seek his
own happiness, and the Bible recognizes this desire and shows us that
all heaven will unite with man in his efforts to gain true happiness. It
reveals the condition upon which the peace of Christ is given to men. It
describes a home of everlasting happiness and sunshine, where no tears
nor want shall ever be known.
That blessed book will teach you to be honest, temperate in all things,
frugal, industrious, truthful, and upright. Its counsels heeded will make
you a faithful companion of youth, giving you an influence that will ever
lead upward, to purity of character; an influence that will lead away from
sin, into paths of righteousness.
Will such a life be without enjoyment? Ah, no! It will be full of
comfort, full of satisfaction, because you are bringing heaven into your
life, peace into your soul, and leaving a testimony that “the law of the
Lord is perfect, converting the soul.”...
I would that all the young could understand how precious is the
offering of a youthful heart to God. How lovingly the angels guard the
steps of God-fearing, God-loving youth. Jesus knows them by name,
and their example is helping other youth to do right. The youth who has
hidden within the heart and mind a store of God’s words of caution and
encouragement, of His precious pearls of promise, from which he can
draw at any time, will be a living channel of light. He has connection
with the Source of all light. The Sun of Righteousness sends its light and
healing beams into his soul, irradiating rays of light to all around him.
