I agree. I have looked up happy references in the Bible..they are pretty sparse. The word Joy is more prevalent. and I believe Joy is finding that peace in the midst of your storms. Jesus didn’t say “if” trials comes...he used the word “when”. He never promised us happiness here on earth....not to say we cannot find glimpses of it. God wants us to persevere...a lot different than happiness.

You are exactly right. As we approach the End Times we must practice discernment when it comes to the false teachers that proclaim a prosperity gospel that is nothing more than catering to itching ears.
