Top Highlights
“The bad was many people were unhappy because (a) they didn’t like all the new growth” (source)
“Four times David uses the name Yahweh (translated ‘LORD’), which means self-existent Eternal One. Four more times he uses the name Elohim, which means powerful, creator, and Most High God. David is convinced that the God he is praying to is the universal God who will one day be worshiped by all nations. ‘All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name’ (Psalm 86:9). Seven times in this psalm David uses the name Adonai for God. It means Lord Over All. Over and over again, he confesses that his God is the only God there is.” (source)
“God wants you to be happy, but he wants you to be happy his way. He wants you to be happy internally, externally, and eternally. The psalmist shows us that the key to a happy life is living a God-centered life.” (source)
“First, when you take root in God’s word, you will be unshakable in what you believe. You will be unwavering in how you behave. You won’t get into the ditch of sin on either side of your life. You will stay right in the middle of God’s highway of happiness.” (source)
“If you want to be happy, you cannot act on the advice and the counsel of people who push away, ignore, or mock God. Getting spiritual counsel from unspiritual people would be like getting advice on brain surgery from an automobile mechanic.” (source)
