To me, it is obvious that this horse is smiling (rather, horsing around). And so, I thought I would post this picture today, so that the year might end on a light-hearted, happy note. Naturally, this begs the question... What is happiness?
Proverbs, Chapter 3 (WEB)
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gets understanding. 14 For her good profit is better than getting silver,
and her return is better than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies.
None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand.
In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness.
All her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her.
Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth.
By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge, the depths were broken up,
and the skies drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes.
Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 so they will be life to your soul,
and grace for your neck.
23 Then you shall walk in your way securely.
Your foot won’t stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid.
Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:
26 for Yahweh will be your confidence,
and will keep your foot from being taken.
Wisdom and understanding are the hallmark of a true follower of God! Why? Because true knowledge and true wisdom come from the Almighty.
Let your New Year be better than the current one and be happy with the life that God has given you. Please note- sticking out your tongue is optional!!!
