Tonight, I read Psalm 56:4. It read:
"In God, whose word I praise---in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" I really feel like someone needed to hear that, because I know I needed to hear that. So, I have a question for you. Where does your happiness come from? I ask you this because our attitude tends to change according to the events that unfold in our life. Or for me, at least, this is true. We need to find our happiness in God's word. Instead, we are getting it from the of the amount of likes on Instagram, the text from that certain someone, or other materialistic things. I read an article by TIME magazine on the American people's happiness. 38% of the American people said that just SCROLLING THROUGH social media picks up their mood. Open up that Bible app and that percentage will go WAY up. ;) My friend and I were talking one day last week and she told me that she cared too much about how people thought of her and what they thought about her. And I realized, I do too. I know that we aren't the only ones. But, I have to remind myself constantly that the way God sees me is far more important than what anyone else thinks about me. I believe Joyce Meyer said it best when she stated, "Once we understand how God sees us through Christ, we can refrain from caring what people think about us, and feeling bad for ourselves. We don't have to be addicted to their approval, because we already have God's." So today, ask yourself these two questions.... 1.) Were does your happiness come from? 2.) Are you seeking approval from God or someone else? Have a marvelous week! Also, pray for me, because I wrote this blog post when I really should've been reading my summer reading book. Hahah. Much love to all.
