Description

Happiness: all desire it; not all find it. What lets some find it, but makes others miss it? Answers to this question abound, but aren't always helpful.

Over two thousand years ago, sacred poets of Ancient Israel passed on to us divinely inspired answers to this question. In nineteen passages of Scripture, they revealed to us their wisdom for a rightly lived, fulfilling life that'll bring you happiness.

Their wisdom starts with telling us what behaviors we should avoid to keep from making ourselves and those around us unhappy. Happiness, however, isn't just absence of pain, as some have taught, but the presence of life-sustaining, life-affirming, and life-building measures that benefit not only you who do them, but also the community to which you belong.

True happiness isn't a matter of your doing the best that you can do alone. True happiness is rooted in a community of individuals who meet one another's needs and cherish one another's gifts. True happiness consists of peace that grows from right relationships among individuals who make justice and mercy their standard.

The source of justice and mercy that brings peace, as the sacred poets tell us, is the God Who teaches us a law of love. To be forgiven and to forgive, to love others as we love ourselves, and to love God as the Source and as the Judge of our lives is to live the law of love in acts that'll create happiness in ourselves and in those around us.

Here, in nineteen brief devotionals, is the ancient poets' pathway to happiness explained in modern terms. Can following this pathway change your life?
