The Only Happy Man in the World

The only happy man in the world! – Thomas Brooks

“Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” Ps. 144:15

All the happiness and blessedness of the people of God consists in this that God is their God, and that He is their portion, and that they are His inheritance!

Oh, the heaped up happiness of those whose God is the Lord! The happiness of such is so great and so glorious as cannot be conceived, as cannot be uttered!

Nothing can make that man truly miserable, who has God for his portion; nor can anything make that man truly happy, who lacks God for his portion.

God is the author of all true happiness.

God is the donor of all true happiness.

God is the maintainer of all true happiness.

God is the center of all true happiness and blessedness.

Therefore, he who has Him for his God, for his portion, is the only happy man in the world!

Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” Ps. 144:15
