My Happy

September 30, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

…when “it” does not make me happy.


There sure is a lot of “unhappy” out there these days!  Wow. Lots of folk out there raging and rioting and looting and killing willy-nilly.  I don’t go that far afield. But I do get unhappy at times.

I can always find something to make me unhappy.  Never failed me yet – this unhappy thing.  As they say, “If it‘s not one thing, it‘s another.” It can always make me unhappy.

The state of our fallen world is such that something will always not be up to snuff from my perspective. Especially with the world around us going stark, raving mad!  If I let it, something will always take away my “happy”.  1  The key thing there: IF I let it.

But, I don’t have to “let it“.  I keep unhappy away from me if at all possible.

If my happiness depended on anything but Christ, I would always find something to wallow in, like a pig mired in mud and likin’ it. I probably would have gone stark raving mad a long time ago, if not for my faith in Christ, and His forgiving, His healing and His empowering grace pouring over me.

 

There is no dependable factor out there, no “this is it” moment – except through God Almighty.

What I am is what I make of it.
How I act towards others,
what I reflect to others
with my demeanor,
my face, my voice and inflections,
my attitude, my actions…
are all the parts of what make me who I am.
– Source: This is it

You name it, it can fail you: money and wealth, health, love, comfort….  Ever feel like an ijit 2  having thought “it” would make you happy – but it didn’t?

Some big thinkers developed theories for me – about what makes me happy.  Isn’t that nice of them?  They made lists telling me what happens “if I don’t have it“.


What makes me unhappy… if I don’t have it. 
Big lists developed:

Maslow developed his theory that we have basic needs.  If the basics are met, then we suddenly get higher level needs we need.  Maslow came up with 5 levels of needs. 

Maslow plus Evolution – 7 levels.  But then other thinkers thought a bit, added evolution, and came up with two more, for 7 levels:

  1. Subsistence.
  2. Understanding and growth.
  3. Connection and love.
  4. Contribution.
  5. Esteem and Identity.
  6. Self-governance(Autonomy)
  7. Significance and purpose.

Bottom rung, basic needs.  Others also thought, the “eco” focus group, and they dwell on the bottom rung, basic needs: Clean Air, Water, Nutrients, Shelter and Sleep.

Survival mode needs.  And then there’s the “How to avoid dying” survival mode needs type of focus people group: food, clothing, shelter, sleep:

    • If you’re hungry enough, you die
    • If you are too cold, you die 
    • If you have no shelter, you die
    • All the above keep you from sleeping, so, you die

Quite a bleak list – focusing on how to avoid dying. I’d rather focus on what makes me happy.

But, it basically goes back to Maslow’s list of five levels of human needs:

    1. physiological (physical needs)
    2. safety
    3. belonging and love
    4. social needs or esteem
    5. self-actualization

For more on Maslow and his pyramid graph… see: A Theory of Human Motivation, which is Maslow’s original 1943 article, or this very commercial site, exploringyourmind.com, or the conglomerate Wikipedia where everyone distributes their thought.


This all put me into thought.  I like my short list of basic needs:

healthy, wealthy and wise

Fledglings.  Many think “If you don’t have it, you’re cooked.”  3

Many unhappy folk think of themselves as luckless fledglings, un-enabled victims of a harsh, dank world, always whining for mommy to feed them.  (Been there.  Done that. Grew up!)

“…always learning and listening to anybody who will teach them, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  – 2 Timothy 3:7

They never figure it out: we are born responsible for what we make of our life.  Each of us is responsible for our actions.  Nobody else in all the world is.  Just you.

It’s your life.  This is it!  What will you do with it?

There are varying degrees of each of those needs: how healthy, how wealthy, how wise.  We need to accept our present level, not play the blame game or just “dream of better days” to come.

We are born with varying degrees of “healthy, wealthy and wise”. Our part in this world is to make something good of our life.

Change can be good. It’s our choice.  Various factors can increase or decrease where we are at on that sliding scale.

What can increase or decrease our level of living:

  • Me. I can… increase or decrease my level
  • Circumstance… can increase or decrease my level (government policies, politicians, neighbors, rain, etc)

As life happens, I go up and down the sliding scale of basic needs.  Sometimes I might think myself to be very healthy, very wealthy, very wise.  When I get back from a rugged, sweaty hike – I feel VERY wealthy, fat cat rich even, when all I have in my pocket is a $20 bill – and it will cover me for a cheap burger and fries and ice water.

Other times, not so much.  I may not be “happy” sometimes.  A lot of it is dependent on luck and circumstance – or as the Bible indicates, a lot of life is dependent on the “providence of God”.  It’s not under our control.

Each of us has a very unique “circumstance” given to us which is way beyond our control —

(1) at birth,
and
(2) at multiple times throughout every second of our day.

We cannot control much of life, even during times of being “healthy, wealthy, and wise”.

Life happens.  Whether we like it or not, whether we work against it or not… “life” can give us quite a menu of different circumstances that we did not choose.  And therein lies a problem.

Menu of different circumstances:

  1. If I am born into the lowest caste on a dirty alley curb in gritty Calcutta/Kolkata, or on a cush couch in the Rockefeller mansion
  2. If I am born good lookin’ or born “good grief!” lookin’
  3. If I am born healthy, or born with one of a myriad of congenital diseases
  4. If I am born genius, “normal” or with less “smarts” than the other guy
  5. If I am hit by some disease thing, whereas the other guy lived into his 90’s while smokin’ like a chimney
  6. If while living I am suddenly hit by a blood disease or HIV or stroke or cancer or Cystic Fibrosis or chronic Cushing syndrome or Crohn’s disease or I’m on the Autism spectrum or IBS/OCD/ADHD/etc or ABC (just joking) or dysfunctional (you can tell I’m one of those)… or hit by a Mack truck….

“I hate it when that happens.”  But “that’s life” and life is gritty.  We are not guaranteed anything but taxes and …death at the end, so they say (and salvation through Christ!).  Some hit the jackpot, and some get smacked down… by burglary, business fail, disease, or drunk driver.  So much in life is not up to us!

So how does one veritably succeed in this not-so easypeasy place (called earth)?


What Is Your Greatest Desire?
What is it that you yourself have made into what you’d call “your greatest desire”?  The Bible teaches: Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires. God will satisfy them fully!  (Matthew 5:6)

Amplified Bible
Matthew 5:6

“Blessed
[joyful, nourished by God’s goodness]
are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness
[those who actively seek
right standing with God],
for they will be
[completely] satisfied.

Keeping Happy comes with… Doing what God requires
For believers, God’s type of “happy” is not dependent on circumstance and fulfilled need. Contrary to the fake faith of empty suits, the truly born again follower of Christ matures, to where their predilections are the type of proclivities that reflect Christ and produce good fruits.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight,
O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.  – Psalm 19:14

There is no better way to live – than to reach towards the high levels of obedience of “nothing to be ashamed of“, putting on what is natural for us now that we are in Christ. Stay focused the way Isaiah put it:

“You will keep
in [a]perfect and constant peace
the one whose mind is steadfast
[that is, committed and focused on You
—in both [b]
inclination
and
character
],

Because he trusts and takes refuge in You
[with hope and confident expectation].
–
Isaiah 26:3

BibleGateway Footnotes:
      1. Isaiah 26:3 Lit peace, peace, a Hebrew idiom of emphasis.
      2. Isaiah 26:3 The Hebrew word for inclination became a technical term in Jewish tradition, and the rabbis frequently referred to [1] the “evil inclination” much in the same sense as the sin nature. They also recognized [2] a “good inclination,” which the righteous choose to follow, and urged people to make their good inclination king over the evil inclination.


We absolutely must be absolutely guarded in all our ways – to be a healthy soul, to live a worthy life.  Satan is a deceiver and a liar.  You don’t win with an unguarded life.

Christ is preparing a place for us in His forever home.  I want to arrive having lived a life worthy of our Holy Holy Holy God.  How ’bout you?

– Source: Why all my pain and sorrow, my sickness and worries

God makes our life “brand new inside” when we confess our need for Him and accept Him as Savior.  Then it is up to us to cooperate with Him, maintain, and grow in the power of His Holy Spirit, to be “steadfast… committed and focused on” on Jesus (Titus 2:14; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3). 

Maintain a “good inclination”

You can’t be a bump-on-a-log and bump into a blessed life.  We must make our “good inclination king over the evil inclination” (quote from BibleGateway Footnotes for Isaiah 26:3). 

It helps me “stay happy” and grow a blessed life – by keeping a proper perspective on life: looking at life here on earth – from the perspective God has from His Kingdom.  After all, His Kingdom is our home!  If I am truly born again, then I am, even now, a citizen of Heaven (“just a’ passin’ through…”).

Bad things will come for us all.  We are in a fallen world, and not immune to what falls on us.

For the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.

I refuse to live the irresponsible “fledgling” life.  As to who I am in Christ – I reject the lies of Satan:  I am not what he (Satan) says I am.

I will study and choose to be what God says I really really am.  No matter how bad things get, I am enough, because, in that moment in time, He saved me – forever by His grace, not by my righteousness.

Every day I “git a grip”, focus for a healthy perspective: since that day He saved my soul — I am in “a body transformed by God”.  God did that – He made me brand new (not me myself). I am one of His Creative designs.  He is in my present life now.  And I’ve got a future!  Oh what a future!

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it.

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies.

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.

Living a forever life – now

Eternal life blessed by God forever — begins the moment you bow your knee in repentance and give Him all of your heart. You saved?

Ways to lose it with God

Living and leaving God behind? That is easy. Try something a little more challenging: Live to please God Almighty – in everything you do! Now that is a worthy challenge. And the prize at the end is more than adequate for your focus.

The Dangers of Consorting With Error

To be faithful to Christ, we cannot mix Jesus plus something.  It’s like mixing water with oil.  That’s a messy mix. There is contradiction and opposition between the two.The same goes for anything in life: To stay true and faithful to Jesus we absolutely must deny that which denies Christ. 

The Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul

Do you know the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul?  Is that what you follow? Study to know the real thing — so you’ll recognize the counterfeit when it’s put in your face.
