“What does Jesus teach us about the pursuit of happiness?”
The Bible doesn’t really use a word that is equal to the way we typically use the word “happiness” today. Instead, the Bible relies on the Greek word “chara,” which is usually translated as “joy.” Now the word “chara” comes from the word “charis,” which is translated as “grace” in English. This word chara, as it is used in the New Testament, is not a feeling we can create within ourselves. I believe that chara may be best explained as a state of “soul-satisfaction” that is given to us by and through God’s grace.

Acceptance and Commitment, often referred to as ACT, is an evidenced based strategy to strengthen us in our abilities to decipher and make choices within our values, rather than making choices in a reactive manner. David wrote a number of psalms which clearly exemplify the strategy, as did Elijah, Hannah, and Jesus.

How do we continue to seek God if we are in a season of doubt? Remember, that the Bible clearly teaches that faith is based on evidence. The Bible teaches that “Faith is the....evidence of things not seen.” Faith is not a blind trust. Faith is a decision to believe Jesus based on the evidence we have about Him, about His life, death, and resurrection.
