Looking for happiness in the right place


Morning: Psalm 5, 6; Isaiah 40:25-31; Ephesians 1:15-23
Evening: Psalm 10, 11; Mark 1:14-28
Gently does it! How easy it is to despair at the foibles and failings of our humanity. Yet even when we feel far from God, God’s power supports all that is good and holy and strong in us and loves us into life. This same power is at work in Jesus, to bring wisdom, enlightenment and hope. Jesus called his disciples, and calls us, to change the direction in which we look for happiness, and to look to God instead.
