Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord! – Psalm 144:15
The state that King David refers to here concerns flourishing children and flourishing assets. First, he acknowledges that people who are flourishing tend to feel happy. Then he shares that we flourish when we allow the Lord to oversee our affairs (God means judge or overseer of affairs). For God to oversee our affairs requires that we let go of control and submit to Him. Therefore, to flourish requires humility before God. This means we follow God’s principles, and we do things God’s way. Anything but God’s way gives us the trappings of success without the true and deep happiness that comes with achievement. Only with God can we dream of having it all. All other ways of flourishing come with sorrow. Choose to be happy; choose to flourish God’s way.
I choose to let God lead so I can truly be happy
