How to Choose Happiness Today

“If God gives us wealth and property and lets us enjoy them, we should be grateful and enjoy what we have worked for. It is a gift from God.” Ecclesiastes 5:19 (GNT)

The Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:17 that God “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (NIV). That’s the kind of God we serve. He gave us the world for our enjoyment! But here is the problem: We are so busy getting more that we do not enjoy what we have. The secret of contentment is to learn to enjoy what God has given you. Ecclesiastes 5:19 says, “If God gives us wealth and property and lets us enjoy them, we should be grateful and enjoy what we have worked for. It is a gift from God” (GNT).

Instead of grasping for more, pay attention to what you have now. Open your eyes, appreciate what God has already given you, and enjoy what you already have. One of my favorite things to do when we were in the province is to watch the sunrise from our yard. I put a plastic chair out there many years and would watch the sun rises. Watching the sun rises gives me jot. It gives me great pleasure! Would I have any more joy watching the sunrise if I were sitting in a diamond-encrusted recliner instead of my cheap plastic chair? No, it would not increase my joy one bit. In fact, there is an advantage to not having a diamond-encrusted recliner and instead being content with my old chair: No one will steal it!

You need to ask yourself, “What am I not enjoying right now?” Most of us get into what I call “when and then” thinking: “When this happens, then I’ll be happy.” “When I get a boyfriend, then I will be happy.” “When I get married, then I’ll be happy.” “When I have children, then I will be happy.” “When I have a better job, then I will be happy.” “When I get married again, then I will be happy.” But here is the truth: You are as happy as you choose to be. If you are not happy now, you are not going to be happy later. Happiness is a choice!

We can go and visit some of the poorest places in the world and see two people living right next door to each other. One is miserable, and one is happy. Why? Happiness has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with your attitude. If you are not happy with what you are living on right now, I can guarantee that you are not going to be happy with more. Because no matter what you have, you are always going to want a little bit more. Happiness is a choice. Choose right now to enjoy what God has given you!

REFLECTION AND APPLICATION
✅ What has God blessed you with that you have not been enjoying to the fullest?
✅ What have you been waiting for to be happy?
✅ If happiness is a choice, why do people choose to be unhappy? See less

"What It Means to Be Anointed"

“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NIV)

God never tells you to do something without providing what you need to do it. Anointing is a sign that he is equipping and empowering you to fulfill an assignment he’s given you.

Do you want God’s resurrection power to work through your life? Then you need to understand what it means to have his anointing. To understand God’s anointing, you need to keep a few things in mind.

1. When God says to do it, you can count on his anointing. Jesus’ last assignment to his disciples was impossible. There was no way they could take the gospel to the ends of the earth—except through his power. God will often give you an assignment that looks physically impossible, but he will make it possible.

“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV).

2. God’s anointing makes difficult tasks easier. Your resources, energy, knowledge, wisdom, and talent are all limited—but God is not. With God’s anointing, you can handle things better, last longer, and go farther.

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources [God] will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit” (Ephesians 3:16 NLT).

3. God’s anointing makes the impossible possible. In your business, marriage, health, and relationships, you’re going to come up against seemingly insurmountable problems. God is a competent Father. No problem is beyond his ability to provide.

“What is impossible with man is possible with God” (Luke 18:27 NIV).

4. God anoints your life to bless others. Jesus came to comfort the afflicted, broken-hearted, and those who are enslaved to bad habits. And he anoints you to comfort others as well.

Acts 10:38 is paraphrased in The Message this way: “Jesus arrived from Nazareth, anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, ready for action. He went through the country helping people and healing everyone who was beaten down by the Devil. He was able to do all this because God was with him.”

5. For every new challenge, you need renewed power from God. Anointing by the Holy Spirit can’t be stored up. You can’t handle today’s problems with yesterday’s anointing.

Stay in touch with God so that he can constantly fill you with his grace, love, and power. James 4:2 says, “You do not have because you do not ask God” (NIV). Ask for God’s anointing again.

REFLECTION AND APPLICATION
✅ If you believed God wanted to bless your life, what would you ask of him?
✅ Do you try to accomplish your tasks based on your own power or God’s power? What difference does it make?
✅ In what ways do you see how God has anointed you, or equipped you, to fulfill whatever assignment he has given you?

"How To Overcome Grief"

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed.” Psalm 34:18 (NCV)

Everyone will experience loss. And you don’t just “get over” a loss. If you’re scared to express emotion and refuse to go through it, that’s where you get stuck. You overcome grief by letting God help you. Here are six ways God does that:

🛐 God draws you close to himself. Psalm 34:18 says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed” (NCV). When you grieve, God may seem a million miles away. But what you feel and what is real are not always the same thing. In fact, God has never been any closer to you than when you are grieving.

🛐 God grieves with you. The Bible says Jesus was “a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief” (Isaiah 53:3 NLT). When you come to Jesus with your grief, he is sympathetic and understands your pain. He’s not aloof or apathetic.

🛐 God gives you a church family for support. We are meant to grieve and heal in community through our church family. We’re better together!

“Be devoted to one another in love . . . Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:10, 15 NIV).

🛐 God uses grief to help you grow. He does this in three ways. First, God uses pain to get your attention. The Bible says, “My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure” (James 1:2-3 GNT).

Second, he brings good out of bad (Romans 8:28), and third, he prepares you for eternity (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

🛐 God gives you the hope of heaven. If you believe in and trust Jesus Christ for salvation, then you will spend eternity in heaven with God—and that hope will sustain you through your time of loss. The Bible says, “We don’t want you to be ignorant about those who have died. We don’t want you to grieve like other people who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13 GW).

🛐 God uses your pain to help others. This is called redemptive pain, and it is the highest and best use of your pain. “God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us” (2 Corinthians 1:4 NLT).

REFLECTION AND APPLICATION
✅ Why do you think God allows you to experience grief and loss?
✅ If you do not have a church family or small group, what steps can you take today to get connected so that you have the support you need when you go through a loss?
✅ What is the deepest pain you have experienced? How can you use that pain to help others?
