To slightly change an old song: people everywhere, all the time, are looking for happiness in all the wrong places!
Oddly enough, many are looking for happiness in the same places they are looking for love (the original word in the song). Some look in local bars; many in a new relationship, job, city…the list goes on and on. All this looking occurring and precious few finding true and lasting happiness. Of course the song tells us why no one is finding it. They’re all looking in the wrong places.
Where should one look? For true, lasting happiness where do I go? Where do we find such a thing? Is it even possible?
Well yes, it is possible to be blessed (in the Psalms happiness often means blessed); to be blessed beyond belief; to find and have true, lasting happiness. You can find it too, if you look in the right place – actually, if you look to the right person.
Read verse 5: Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord His God.
If you want to blessed, to find happiness, look to God. Specifically, look to Him as your source for help and the One in whom you place your hope. Do so, and you will find happiness – the true and lasting kind.
