The Secret to Discovering True Happiness
I believe everyone has a desire to be happy. In fact, much of what we do is motivated by that desire, yet there are so many people who are not happy with their lives because they have wrong mindsets and attitudes.
But through studying God’s Word, I’ve discovered how to overcome the hindrances to true happiness.
It’s All in Your Mind
Happiness can be defined as the product of expecting something good to happen to you. I love this because it means that even if something good isn’t happening to me right now, I can have hope and expect that something good will happen. We don’t have to wait for our circumstances to dictate whether we should be happy or not.
Does the Shemitah Apply to Believers Today?
Does the Shemitah from Exodus 23:10–13, Leviticus 25:1–7, 20–22 and Deuteronomy 15:1–6 apply to us today? Are there paradigms and patterns in the Scripture that can be an analogy for present day events?
Are these patterns applicable to the United States of America? Are we under a possible coming judgment from God if we don’t adhere to tenets of the Law of God as seen in the Torah, which is the first five books of the Bible?
The Shemitah is the final year in a seven-year cycle of debt forgiveness and land use prescribed for Israel in the Old Testament (and different religious groups have various applications for when this year is). The Shemitah applied to Israel but was largely ignored over time especially as the people fell into sin. Yet God in His mercy and love kept calling them back to repentance. Judgment came in its various forms over the years under the old covenant system due to their disobedience.
