No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you. (Psalm 84: 11-12)
To walk uprightly is to come and go or to live in a manner that is whole, complete, and consistent with God's intention.
To be happy is to be blessed. The Hebrew is derived from 'ashar which means to go straight, advance, make progress, sometimes to be led.
To trust is to be confident, secure, bold, and sometimes to be careless. If we have confidence in God we will live with integrity. In this way we will make progress.
Aristotle taught that human happiness is found in the process of becoming our best. Many of the psalms teach the same lesson.
We are to live as those seeking, making a journey, pioneering. Our goal is a full relationship with God. Our compass is trust and wholeness is our walking stick.
