Happiness is.....?

Isaiah 9:5–7(KJV 1900) — 5For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,And garments rolled in blood;But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:And the government shall be upon his shoulder:And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end,Upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,To order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justiceFrom henceforth even for ever.The zeal of the Lordof hosts will perform this.

​i am very late getting back to this topic....God has blessed our nation yet we seem to be in a spiritual decay.....we have so much....God has increased the harvest but not the joy....we have so much yet suicide rates climb.....depression, divorce, murder, robbery....the numbers keep going up....why is that you suppose?? Verse 5 says every battle of the warrior [the battle of the flesh....the things people fight over in this world] is with confused noise.....it's confusing...."I thought if I could just have more money, I'd be happy"?? You ever think such thoughts....and then you change jobs, make more money, and when you are not happy, you wonder why....5For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,And garments rolled in blood;But this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
This battle is a battle within....within your very heart, your very soul....make no mistake about it, there is a battle raging within.....what is the most important issue in your life today? And then ask yourself, if this [my issue] doesn't go the way I want it to, I will ________________.....fill in the blank.....

what would your blank say? I will be depressed? I will be enraged? I will divorce my wife or husband? I will never go to church again? See how confusing these battles of the flesh can be? If you are satisfied in your heart and soul, however, the answer will be "So what, my God has something better in store for me and my family" or "I know God will work this out in His own time".....the burning and fuel of fire could represent the Holy Spirit working inside you today [if you are a Christian]....when He is allowed to work within us, we are changed people....are you changed today? I will finish this tomorrow [Lord willing :) ] God bless your day!
