Happy is the people whose _______________!

"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. If your happy and you know it, stomp your feet. If you're happy and you know it, say Amen. If you are happy and you know it, then your life will surely show it. If you're happy and you know it do all three." That is how the children's song goes, and boy have I enjoyed throughout the years leading children's church and other groups of people in the singing of this song.
You might ask me, what do I have to be happy about? You could say, that the weather has been awful, and you haven't even started your Christmas shopping, and even if you had you don't have enough money or you have money but not enough time, and on and on one might go with this song of woe. I might reply something about food, clothing, and shelter for starters, at least on the physical level. Most important of all is this, "Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord." Psalm 144:15 Happy are the folks whose God is the Lord. Do we know the Lord Jesus as our Saviour? Do we realize that we can enter into God's presence through Jesus at any time and have God give His attention to us and our needs? What do we have to be happy about? You tell me!
