Thought for the Day
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." – Matthew 5:6
Happiness is not something we should seek directly. Instead, it arises naturally when we live according to God's will, striving for righteousness and faithfulness. In times of difficulty, when life feels heavy, we may not feel happiness, but we can find peace in the knowledge that by living rightly, we are fulfilling God's purpose for us. True happiness is not a goal; it is a gift that comes when we walk the path of duty with dedication and love.

Meditation for the Day
Consider the moments when you feel discontent or weary. Reflect on how those moments might be opportunities to focus on doing the right thing, no matter how small or mundane. Happiness follows from faithfulness in doing God's will, even when the circumstances are difficult. Ask yourself:
How can I focus on living rightly, even when happiness seems far away?
In what ways can I find contentment in fulfilling my duties, knowing that God is pleased with my efforts?
Prayer:
Lord, help me to focus on living according to Your will, not for the sake of happiness but because it is the right path. May I find peace in doing my duty and trust that true happiness will come as the reward for my faithfulness. Strengthen me to persevere in right living, even on the dark days. Amen.
Action Step:
Today, choose to focus on doing the right thing in every situation, regardless of how you feel. Trust that as you live faithfully, happiness will follow as a natural by-product of your actions.
