February 18- Happy?

Leviticus 6:1-7:27
Mark 3:7-30
Psalm 37:1-11
Proverbs 10:3-4

Proverbs 10:3- The Lord will not let the godly go hungry, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.

Well, there you have it. If we are living righteously, God's gonna take care of us. Likewise, if we are never satisfied, maybe we aren't living righteously. I've seen this played out too often in my life. I can be ok financially and totally unhappy. Most of the time my own sin and selfishness prevents me from finding that joy. However, I have seen the opposite as well. We've been broke financially, and have been content. We've been confident in these times that God would provide for us. So, yes... this verse makes sense. Now the question is, "How do I feel right now? Content or dissatisfied? Provided for or empty?" The key is to live a righteous life. Righteousness leads to happiness.
