“Some people suppose happiness is uniquely human, unrelated to God’s nature: as He gave us a body and hunger, which He doesn’t have, He gave us a capacity for happiness, which He also doesn’t have. I believe something radically different” - Randy Alcorn
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

“But note what the verse doesn’t say: that believers will get step-by-step instructions for every decision in life, only that they will be ‘equipped.’ That’s what we mean when we say that while sufficiency is ‘comprehensive,’ applicable to every area of life, it is not ‘exhaustive.’” - Seminary Viewpoints
