Psalm 119 is one of those great Psalms that you could back to over and over again.

There is so much there for us chew over, so much there to think about and pray over.

Today, listen to the words of the Psalmist in verses 1-2

1 Happy are they whose way is blameless, *
who walk in the law of the LORD!
2 Happy are they who observe his decrees *
and seek him with all their hearts!

Happy are those walk in the way of the Lord.  Each day of our lives, we have choices to make. Will we follow the will and the way of God, or will we follow our will and our way?

We think that happiness and joy will come from doing what we want and getting our way. We think that if we get what we want and how we want it, we will be happy and content.

So, we get what we want. We seek after what we want. We seek our will and our way first.

And what do we find? Emptiness.  Not joy.  Not happiness.

We we seek to live only for ourselves, we find that we do not truly find life.

Happiness, joy, life, these things only come from seeking after God.

Seeking His will. . . His way. . . . His life.

Happy are those that seek after God.

Today, we will have choices to make. Will we seek after God?  Will we seek after His way and His will? Or will we seek our stuff?  Our wants? Our desires?

Happiness and joy lies in seeking after God.

Seek Him today.  Do what is right.  Live as He wants. Find happiness.

That is His will for you – happiness and joy.

May we find it in seeking after Him.
