We all want to be happy. It's a fundamental human desire, a lifelong pursuit that shapes our goals and relationships. Yet, for so many of us, true happiness feels like a moving target. It comes in fleeting moments but often fades when our circumstances change.

This cycle can be exhausting, making us wonder if there’s a joy that runs deeper than our daily ups and downs.

What if the secret to a more resilient joy isn’t a new achievement, but a deeper connection?

Psalm 16, a short but profound poem written thousands of years ago, suggests that true fulfillment comes from developing a personal, ongoing, and intimate relationship with God. It challenges our modern ideas about success and points us toward a source of joy that is both surprising and unshakable.

We know this to be true.

It’s easy to get lost in the urgent demands of daily life. We spend our days building careers, managing finances, and creating comfortable homes for ourselves and our families. We are busy, often overwhelmed, and focused on securing our personal success and well-being. While these pursuits are natural, they can sometimes cause a critical shift in our priorities..

This is not a new problem. In 539 B.C., after the Persians conquered Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jewish people to return to their homeland after 70 years of captivity.

They returned with a clear mission, but their focus faltered. An often-overlooked prophet named Haggai delivered a short but powerful message to this community because they had put personal comfort ahead of their central purpose, and their lives began to reflect that misplaced focus.

Listen as we discuss the book of Haggai - Challenge, Promise, and Priorities.

Ancient spiritual texts can sometimes feel like well-worn paths. We know the famous lines, the comforting phrases, and we can easily believe we've gleaned all there is to know from them. But what if there are profound, game-changing truths hiding in plain sight, waiting to be rediscovered?

Psalm 24 is one such text. It contains powerful principles for navigating modern life with greater clarity and purpose.

These aren't just historical lessons; they are active, transformative truths that can reshape how we see ourselves, our world, and our spiritual journey.

The psalm opens with a foundational declaration that sets the stage for everything else: God has ultimate ownership over everything that exists.

True Ownership Changes Everything. It's Not Really Yours (And That's Good News).

This isn't a restrictive or limiting idea meant to diminish us. Instead, it's a liberating truth that reminds us of God's complete sovereignty and authority.

This core principle reframes our entire perspective. When we understand that the world and everything in it ultimately belongs to its Creator, our role shifts from anxious owner to faithful steward.

Embracing this concept can profoundly alter how we view our possessions, our accomplishments, and our place in the world. It releases us from the pressure of ultimate control and invites us into a partnership with the One who holds it all together.

Everything Belongs to Abba Father God
