Are We Always Not Happy?

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Numbers 11:4 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat!” O-bservation: This is the story of a small group of people (rabble) amongst the Israelites, stirring them all up to complain about not having any meat to eat.

Here’s How To Really Make Jesus Happy

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Psalm 147:11 The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. O-bservation: I love how the Psalmist begins each of the five last chapters of the Psalms by saying, “Praise The Lord!” Here the writer said, “If you really want to delight the Lord, first of all Fear Him.” That means we are to respect and bow before His awesome holiness.

Happy’s Family

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Chronicles 7:40 All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders. O-bservation: Asher was the younger brother of Gad, each of whom was a son of Jacob born to Zilpah, the handmaiden of Leah. When Zilpah named the boy Asher, she was naming him “Happy,” the Hebrew meaning of his name. Asher went on to build his family, of whom history says his sons were heads of families, choice men, brave warriors, and outstanding leaders.

Totally Happy

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. O-bservation: This passage of New Testament scripture was written by a man of God named Paul, who most would say was ... "Totally Happy." He wrote this line to his disciple Timothy, and said "godliness with contentment is a powerful combination that produces huge gain in one's life." A-pplication: As I read this passage this AM I thought of my Dad, John Wilkerson. I never knew a man who spoke less of money, or his personal need or lack of it, than my Father. The only...
