When we observe the people around us we see some seem to be joyful even as they are going through a tragic moment in they lives. Others never seem to display real joy even when something wonderful is happening. The difference may be explained in Psalm 119:1, “Happy are the people who live pure lives. They follow the Lord’s teachings.” This doesn’t mean we won’t have moments of sorrow or sadness, it means that during those times we rely on our creator, His strength and His instructions to see us through the tough times.
