True Happiness
Isaiah 58:9-10
“If you do away with the yoke of
oppression, with the pointing finger
and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend
yourselves in behalf of the hungry and
satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the
noonday.

11 The LORD will guide you
always; he will satisfy your needs
in a sun-scorched land and will
strengthen your frame. You will be
like a well-watered garden, like a
spring whose waters never fail.
