• Shead preaches on the topic of happiness based on Psalm 112. The happy individual is identified as one who fears God and delights in His word. God has revealed Himself as a God who is interested and is intimately involved in our future and purpose. The pleasure of the blessed individual is derived from a reverent fear of God and from being filled with awe at God’s word. No matter the circumstance, fearful obedience to God sees the individual take delight in God. The blessed individual is shaped in all actions for those around them, acting as a light for others. The secondary blessings, whether wealth or family, are mere signposts directing attention towards the greatest blessing: to fear the Lord. Ultimately, the blessed individual is one who is confident in face of evil and trial. In the end, the desire of the wicked results in nothingness. The happiness of the blessed produces annoyance amongst the wicked. The wicked serve as an alternative to demonstrate the depth of God’s blessing for us. The life of Jesus is a portrayal of deep happiness/blessedness.
