Scripture for the Day Dec 3rd 2020: Don't Be Happy!
Don't you love provocative headlines? Well, I do when they're rooted in the Truth. However, when I see MSM headlines or RINO statements, I get nauseous. Not so with my statement above. It's testimony that the world misunderstands because they have no wisdom.
The root of the Hebrew word "Happiness" is "Blessedness". Modern translations conform their interpretation to the (gentile/worldly) Greek meaning: Happy.
But the root of the wordly happy is "Happening", "Occurrence", "Event"... suggesting you are to endure and accept all that is happening, implying that you have no power over what's happening.
Oh LORD. It's blasphemy.
I am not happy. I am joyful. Only a Holy Spirit-filled person can experience genuine joy and the peace that brought it. They're quite different things. I can be joyful about giving, about the knowledge of, and my relationship with God. It's not just happening. It directly results from my surrender to God, my faith in God and His promises, the knowledge of His Word, and the power He has invested in me, which I am exercising: the Word of His Power. That joy trumps all happiness feelings I could ever experience. Remember, brothers and sisters, feelings, emotions are prisoners of time. They're temporary. But the joy that God has brought me is permanent. Praise be to You, LORD!
The word happiness occurs 19 times in the bible; the word joy, 277 times. I rest my case. (source logos.com)
HAPPY = 19 times
JOY = 277 times
Why is that? Because Happiness is based on egocentrism. Joy is based on God's gifts.
Let this Scripture BE your prayer today.
1 Chronicles 16:33 (NASB95)
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
LORD, wicked Biden and his followers know no joy. Let them, too, see the light, if they dare. Right now, they happen to be happy with the lies they concoct. As for me, I rejoice in Your Word and in our relationship.
I pray that everyone else who hasn't sold their soul to evil experiences the joy that only God can give. Though I am in this world, I am not of it. Happens to be the truth.
In Jesus' name
Amen

BIDEN’S FOLLYTHE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESWhat it Means to Eliminate the Oil Industry Among Other ThingsBy E.P. Unum I wrote this essay back in the summer of 2020. Now that Joe Biden is President, it bears repeating because much of what feared has, sadly, already taken place. Many Democrats and Liberals like to shout and scream about how we all need to become more climate-conscious. They like to march down streets and wave their placards and makeshift flags about the need to eliminate fracking and do away with fossil fuels. Make no mistake, the self-anointed leader of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden promised during his Presidential campaign that he would not "do away with fracking or oi

The dim alarm showed 2:22 a.m. A familiar sound had woken her senses. The floor board in the hallway was creaking. There was just one piece of wood in the house that made that noise. The third from the entrance door.“Alan! Alan! She shook her husband quietly, whispering: “Someone is in the house, Alan. I am afraid.”Alan grabbed her hand. Jane was the love of his life. They had two children. A son and a daughter, 2 and 3, sleeping next door. “Call 911, Sweets”, he whispered. With bated breath, he opened the quick-release gun safe in his nights
