" . . . And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he."
Why is the person who trusts in the Lord happy? Because he or she has everything to gain, and nothing to lose. This soul puts all his stock in Jesus; and he knows that this investment cannot fail. The church-
man who trusts in the Lord loses only his sin; but he gains the whole world.
Do we *really* want to be happy, (or, are we just pretending we want to be happy)? Most people find their "happiness" in misery. But if we are serious about our life's happiness--then we must trust in Christ (for all things).
[Puritan quote of the day: "Christ has taken away the venom and sting of the saints' sufferings: there is no wrath in their cup. Our suffer-
ings Christ can make sweet." --Thomas Watson, in, "A Body of Divin-
ity"]
