Three things you must have to be happy
June 15, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. Psalm 97:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Years ago, Reader’s Digest published an article which said that for a person to be happy and fulfilled, three things are necessary:
- First, something to believe.
- Second, someone to love.
- Third, something worthwhile to do.
That’s true—not because Reader’s Digest said it, but because God’s Word affirms it. There must be more to life than your next breath or your next step. And His name is Jesus Christ. He is indeed the fulfillment of all three of those needs:
- Jesus is the One to believe in.
- He is the Someone to love.
- His cause is the something worthwhile for you to do.
ACTION POINT:
Do you yearn for happiness? Every need can be met in your life through Jesus Christ.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
