Here are some more happy pointers for you today. God’s highest purpose is not to make us happy, but to make us like Him and to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29).
However, in His love and mercy, He gives us pointers in His Word that enable us to not only be happy, but doubly happy. We have been discovering some of them the last few days. Here are some more for you today which include the Hebrew word “esher” which is a plural word for happy. It can be translated “Oh the happiness,” or “Oh the joy.”
Do you want to fill your home and family life with happiness? Establish these foundational blessings in your home.
