In Ecclesiastes 3:12 King Solomon writes, " I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live."
Be happy and do good. This is a very simple phrase but often hard for us to do because God is supposed to be the source.
God is supposed to be the source of our happiness, but we often go searching for it in stuff and achievements. When we have God with us we can rejoice and be content in all situations because he is always with us. Our happiness is supposed to come from the inside not from external circumstances.
His grace also changes our hearts and empowers us to do good. As he works in our lives he gives us the desire and ability to do good and be a blessing.
Today's communion is a time of thanksgiving for God being with us and we are asking for his help to be happy and do good at a greater level. There is always another level of this and there is nothing better than to be happy and do good today!
I am praying for you.
Daniel
