Happy is everyone who fears Jehovah, who walks in His ways.—Ps. 128:1.

 

True happiness is not simply a lighthearted feeling that comes and goes. It can last throughout a person’s life. How so? Jesus explained in his Sermon on the Mount: “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need.” (Matt. 5:3) Jesus knew that humans are made with an intense desire to know and worship their Creator, Jehovah God. That is our “spiritual need.” And since Jehovah is “the happy God,” those who worship him can also be happy. (1 Tim. 1:11) Do we need ideal circumstances in our life to be happy? No. In his sermon, Jesus said that even “those who mourn” can be happy. Jesus said the same about “those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake.” (Matt. 5:4, 10, 11) Jesus was teaching us that happiness results, not from having ideal circumstances in our life, but from satisfying our spiritual need and drawing close to God.—Jas. 4:8. w22.10 6 ¶1-3

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
