But the apostle Paul said there was a secret - and he knew it.
"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:11-13 ESV).
The secret to happiness is living in Christ today. We can be happy only in and through and for Jesus.
It sounds simplistic and trite and as tried-and-true a Christian cliche as could be. But it's reality. Authentic happiness will come today through opening your eyes in awe at Jesus, worshiping Him, serving others out of passionate humility, repenting of your sin, trusting, obeying, singing, laughing, and enjoying God.
Will you do that today?
Will you be happy?
