It is always good to memorize scripture, and here is a good one:
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. — Jude 1:24-25

[God] said, “Number the congregation of the People of Israel by clans and families … The tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500 … Simeon 59,300 … Gad 45,650 … Judah 74,600 … Issachar 54,400 … Zebulun 57,400 … Ephraim 40,500 …. Manasseh 32,200 … Benjamin 35,400 …Dan 62,700 … Asher 41,500 … Naphtali 53,400.
[Then God] said, “The People of Israel are to set up camp circling the Tent of Meeting and facing it. Each company is to camp under its distinctive tribal flag. To the east toward the sunrise are the companies of the camp of Judah, Issachar next to them, Zebulun next to them. South are the companies of the camp of Reuben, Simeon, Gad. To the west Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin. To the north Dan, Asher, and Naphtali” — Numbers 1:1 – 2:34
Someone pointed out that from above, with all the people numbered and camped around God’s tent as directed, it all formed a giant cross pointing East.
Do the math and see for yourself!
The cross has always been God’s plan for humanity’s redemption!
“Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot … was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you” – 1st Peter 1:18b-20

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” — Proverbs 15:15
Secular thinkers have discovered an important fact known by the sages long ago — Happiness is found before not after “success”.
“The formula is clear: Work harder, then you’ll be successful, then you’ll be happier. When I asked some of my Harvard students, their answer was easy: “I’m working … now so I can be happy when … [fill in the blank with a six figure banking job, make a scientific breakthrough, get into medical school, etc.].”
But here’s what these brilliant students often forget: Getting into Harvard was supposed to make them happy….
It’s hard to find happiness after success if the goalposts of success keep changing.
Now for the good news … If you reverse the order of the formula, you end up with greater happiness and greater success rates … If you cultivate happiness while in the midst of your struggles, work, at school, while unemployed or single, you increase your chances of attaining all the goals you are pursuing, including happiness.” — Shawn Achor in “5 Ways to Turn Happiness Into an Advantage (Read Shawn’s full article “here.)
Christ provides what we really need to be happy — complete acceptance, an enduring purpose, and bright future.
“[W]e know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose … What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” — Romans 8:28,31b / Psalm 118:6
