Happiness is something that everyone pursues throughout their entire life, both consciously and subconsciously. Everything we do, all the choices we make, deep down we want them to lead to us being happy and fulfilled.

But how does happiness actually happen?

Sometimes, it feels like happiness is fleeting. We reach a goal we set, and we feel it for some time, but then something else arises that we feel we need to chase. So, how do we reach and keep it? And where can you find an answer to such a deep question?

On my journey to finding the answer to such a complicated question, I realized that the answer might have been right under my nose the whole time: in the Bible. Scripture talks about happiness and what it can mean, and it holds many teachings that can bring us closer to this feeling.

In this article I’ll explore what happiness is according to philosophy, psychology, and the Bible, and I’ll discuss Max Lucado’s study of important Bible messages in his book, “How Happiness Happens.”
