I presume every person on earth would like to be blessed or favored or happy. Too often we look for happiness in the wrong places. We don’t realize happy are those whose strength is in God (and not even those who seem to be strong or successful on their own). I can attest to that. As long as I am looking for strength in myself, I am not happy. There’s not much to build on in me, you know. But…
As Western culture becomes increasingly more secular, we are facing the same problems as the Israelites in the Old Testament.

(Eph. 6:16, CEB) We are saved by grace through faith. But so often we forget that through faith we also receive God’s protection.
