Psalms 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful".
Have you ever wondered how some people who seems to have nothing, yet live as those they have everything? They seem to always be happy no matter what tends to be going on in their lives. The secret is people like this are truly blessed, they live a life before God that keeps them in a position to prosper.
First they live wisely in their relationship with God, as they are often found delighting and meditating on His word. They are separated from the cares and ways of the world, as they live by their faith in God's word. They avoid the counsel of the wicked and ungodly, they seek direction in the word of God. They ask God to teach them how to walk (Psalms 143:8). they walk in truth (Psalms 86:11) they walk worthy of the profession of their faith (Eph. 4:1-2) and they walk by the spirit (Gal.5:16). Their every step is ordered by the Lord so they are rarely out of His will. Being separated from the world, they don't stand or run with sinners, nor will they abide with those who will mock or scorn the word, even if it means standing or being all alone.
So if you want to live a life of true and total happiness, a happiness which is not based on situations or circumstances, then live the life of a person whom God blesses. The person who is always in a position to prosper. The person who delight is in the law of the Lord, which he meditates on it day and night.
