OH, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Psalms 4:7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

God’s blessing of happiness is not measured in dollars and cents. Riches do make themselves wings (Proverbs 23:5). The truly happy individual is one who has learned to love, cherish and value the blessings that come from the heart; the spiritual blessings that no robber can steal and no rust can corrupt. In that sole ability lies the virtue of pure unadulterated happiness, of a joy that can never be altered by silver or gold, of a peace independent of outside politics and economics.

Oh, to know the joy of our God; to know the completeness that makes the rejoicings of this present world a mournful dirge; to experience the feasting that dwarfs their wealth into meals of famine; the brightness that reveals their freedom as an devilish illusion. Only the pure and regenerated in heart can ever see and experience these blessings from Adonai (Matthew 5:8).

Abba Father; please clean our hearts from the illusions that surround us. Help us not to settle for the cyber-virtual happiness of this present world. Grant us the knowledge of your love that is true; the experience of the pure and undefiled gladness only your Spirit can put in our hearts. This we ask, in the Name and merit of Yeshua the Messiah.
