“How happy are those who have learned how to praise You; those who journey through life by the light of Your face. Every hour of the day, they rejoice at the sound of Your name. They are lifted up and encouraged by Your righteousness.” (Psalms 89: 15-16, the Voice)

Here’s a recipe for happiness! It is a conscious awareness of God, moment by moment. It is living with a sense of awe and respect for God’s qualities with us, in us, around us.

This joy is a living love for Truth and Life, for the Source of goodness and beauty and wisdom and divine law. It means that we turn away from self, from ego, from that limited and material perspective, and look up and out with eyes on the spiritual reality of things.

It is living in gratitude rather than complaint. It is being awake to each opportunity to grow in an understanding of God and our own relationship to Him as His beloved sons and daughters. It is casting our cares on God with trust and willingness, knowing He will lead us because He is with us and knows what is right and good for us and for all.

Let’s look to the light of God’s face—His Truth shining on us, His Love warming and assuring us—and let’s accept the happiness that dwelling in and actively cherishing His goodness must surely bring.
