Happy People
(Deuteronomy 33:29)

People in this world pursue happiness through material wealth, success, and fame, yet true satisfaction continues to elude them. Only Jesus, the Savior and source of living water, can quench the thirst of the soul and grant genuine happiness. Those of us who have believed in Jesus, received salvation, and become children of God are, in truth, the happiest people in the world.

1. Those to Whom God Bestowed the Grace of Salvation
　　　Israel was chosen not because of outstanding achievements or special abilities, but solely by God’s absolute grace (Deuteronomy 7:6?7). In the same way, our faith in Jesus and our identity as children of God are not the result of our own merit or decision, but of God’s gracious choice made before the creation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). According to His good pleasure, God chose us, saved us, and made us His inheritance. Therefore, we must never forget the grace of salvation we have received. Instead, we are called to live lives marked by joy, thanksgiving, praise, and glory to the God who saves us.
　　　
2. Israel, Whom God Helps
　　　As we live our lives, we face continual attacks from the enemy, the devil. Many people attempt to protect themselves through knowledge, wealth, or power, yet these ultimately lack the strength to truly save or sustain us. Human ability is limited, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). The Lord becomes our shield, defending us from every attack, and our sword, overcoming the forces of darkness. Joshua and Caleb trusted in God’s promise of His presence and boldly advanced to conquer Canaan (Joshua 1:5?6). Likewise, those who stand with God face crises with faith and experience His grace, seeing even adversity transformed into opportunities for blessing.
　　　
3. Those Whom God Elevates
　　　Many seek to exalt themselves, but achievements built solely on human strength, like the Tower of Babel, ultimately collapse. When God exalts, no one can bring low; and when He humbles, no one can lift up. Joseph, betrayed by his brothers and cast into slavery and prison, was raised by God to become ruler over Egypt (Acts 7:9?10). Haman, who sought his own elevation, fell into destruction, while Mordecai, who trusted in God, was lifted up. No matter the despair we may face, when we walk with God, He works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Therefore, we are called to walk humbly before the Lord, seeking His glory rather than our own. When we cling to God and live for His honor, He will surely lift us up. May we all be people who give glory to God and move forward with grateful hearts.
