Psalm 1

Are you truly happy? The author of Psalm 1 shows us where we can find true happiness.

• You're happy for what you avoid. To be happy, we need to move away from what this world offers. Such happiness is too little compared with the happiness that God provides.
• You're happy for what you do. We need to know God and walk with him, and that closeness fills us with happiness.
• You're happy for who you are. We bear fruit for God's glory. God invites us to be ambassadors for him.

Questions for personal reflection and/or for group discussion:

1. Can you truly say with the psalmist, "I delight in God's law"? What can be done to increase the delight that a person finds in God's law?
   
2. In what ways have you experienced the offers of happiness from this world to be infinitely less than the offers of happiness from God?
3. What things must be in place within a person's heart to allow him or her to weep during hard times without losing hope?
