KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS.


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS.

Text: Psalm 1:1 KJV
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Wherein lies the key to true happiness?
We live in a time where boredom, depression and other forms of unhappiness are rampant.
Is there some basic principle which determines success in finding happiness?

The Book of Psalms with its very first psalm shares with us a key principle that can ensure true happiness as follow...

Notice the very first word of the first psalm - "Blessed..."
This psalm describes "The Truly Happy Man"

1) "Walks not in the counsel of the ungodly"
a) He does not take their counsel as to how to
b) He does not follow the advice of those who are sinful

2) "Nor stands in the path of sinners"
a) He does not linger where sinners are known to go
b) For the temptation to go with them would be great

3) "Nor sits in the seat of the scornful"
a) He does not join himself with those who ridicule and mock those trying to do right
b) Which sinners often do to fortify their conduct and
defend their actions

Are you like this? Did you have this character of a good man.
If you don't then try to be one to your family friends and the world. Through this you will have happiness.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME GIVE ME THE KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS IN JESUS NAME.

Share this meal
Good morning friends
