What does the Bible say about happiness for God's people?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that blessed are those whose God is the Lord, emphasizing the joy found in divine salvation.
In Deuteronomy 33:29, we see God’s blessing articulated beautifully: 'Happy art thou, O Israel.' This happiness refers to a state of being blessed by God, a condition that is tied to His salvation. Psalms 33:12 reiterates this, stating, 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.' The joy and happiness of God's people stem not from external circumstances but from their relationship with Him as their Savior and refuge. As believers, we can affirm our happiness because we are 'saved by the Lord' (Deuteronomy 33:29) and thus belong to Him.
