Here is what Brandon writes about himself:<\/p>\n<p>I live in Ft. Worth, TX. I am married to my beautiful wife, Lacy. We have one little girl with us (Selah Rose) and one with Jesus (Haven Grace). We planted a church in 2008. Planting a church can be hard anyway but with a little girl with heart problems it can be much more difficult. We stayed with it though and she received a transplant after 2 years and left us in 2012 at the age of 3 1\/2. We stuck with the church as long as we could but we just didn&#8217;t have the emotional stamina to continue. Plus we are very outward thinkers and our church was wanting to go another way (long story short).<\/p>\n<p>In my time there I did all the things that church planters do &#8230; everything! I wrote study materials, preached, and composed newsletters on a weekly basis. My time there was good and as it turns out sermons are pretty much &#8220;verbalized copy&#8221; so I learned and grew a lot. We decided to start a business in copywriting so I can still use my gifts for the glory of God and help promote and edify others as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Brandon on his website: <a href=\"http:\/\/brandonwdavis.com\/\">Brandon Davis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note from Jeremy Myers:<\/strong> I am publishing several guest posts this summer as I take some time off to rest.

Each one promises a \u201csecret\u201d to it and places it within reach \u2026 well sorta.<\/p>\n<p>It should come as no surprise that a market is out there to help us tap into what we want the most. With all the resources and experts out there telling us what we need to do to feel better and smile more, you would think that would be, right? Evidence shows that the reality is quite to the contrary. We are miserable.<\/p>\n<p>God isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_134407094-570x380.jpg\" alt=\"be happy like God\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-42731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_134407094-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_134407094-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_134407094-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_134407094.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Straight out of the pages of Scripture we see that God is a happy God. Not that you won\u2019t see some other aspects of God as he has to deal with us on numerous occasions, but the default character of God isn&#8217;t anger or wrath. Theologians tell us that for an attribute to be an attribute, it has to be what God was like before he created anything. And before God created anything he was happy. God is happy by default:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou make known to me the path of life;<br \/>\nin your presence there is fullness of joy;<br \/>\nat your right hand are pleasures forevermore.\u201d &#8211; Ps. 16:11 (ESV)<\/p>\n<p>But why?<\/p>\n<p>Is there something he isn&#8217;t sharing with us? Some secret?<\/p>\n<p>No, not at all. As a matter of fact he shares more than just information with us, he shares himself. In doing so, he is revealing more than just tips, but a life lived where all can see. By observing him, we learn five things that make this God so happy. Not only that we can follow his joyous lead.<\/p>\n<h2>1. God is Community<\/h2>\n<p>Christians believe in one God who is three distinct persons. It\u2019s tough to wrap our heads around to be sure, but the point is, there was never a time when God was without community because that is his very being. It isn&#8217;t something he chooses to do now and then, it who he is.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t be happy alone. People need people. We don&#8217;t just need any ole\u2019 people, but those that are truly life-giving and seek our good. To have even one devoted friend is of enormous value. To be happy we need them.<\/p>\n<h2>2. God Creates<\/h2>\n<p>God created the world and rejoiced in what he had made. It\u2019s in the opening account of the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Business manuals suggest that the happiest places on earth to work are those where the people feel the freest to create and not feel judged. Some of the happiest professions are those that allow and make room for people to be more creative. What does that tell you? It means we were made to create also.<\/p>\n<h2>3. God Gives<\/h2>\n<p>If I hear the statement, \u201cMoney is the root of all evil\u201d one more time I\u2019m gonna puke! The Bible doesn&#8217;t say this. It says \u201cThe love of money is the root of all evil.\u201d Having lots of money can make you happy. If you give it away.<\/p>\n<p>Harvard Professor Michael Norton wrote a book about this called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/29e7q1o\">Happy Money, the Science of Smarter Spending<\/a><\/em>. In it he presents data to support his daily challenge to audiences:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think money doesn\u2019t buy happiness, try giving some away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is right.<\/p>\n<p>Those that give are happier than those who don\u2019t. Imagine that! (Acts 20:35).<\/p>\n<h2>4. God is Thankful<\/h2>\n<p>Go back to the first chapter of the Bible again. What do you see? Not only is God creating, but he is thankful in the process. He turns to himself repeatedly to say, \u201cGood job!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Being thankful takes work. We aren&#8217;t by nature. I know for myself I have had to sit down, shut up and make a list of things that I should be thankful for. It\u2019s a pain, but by the end of that exercise, I am happier than before. Try it.<\/p>\n<h2>5. God beautifies<\/h2>\n<p>This one is hard to explain, but it is my personal favorite. God doesn&#8217;t just create; he fixes. He restores. He connects. In other words, God is not in the business of breaking things down, but ultimately building them up and making them better.<\/p>\n<p>My wife loves to decorate and occasionally do makeovers for her friends. I love to write and do public speaking. Each of us in our own way are adding something to improve or at least point people to what is so beautiful to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be happy, find something broken and repair it. Find broken people and help them heal. See where people are struggling and come alongside them and lift them back on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>The happiest being did all these to us. In what seemed like the ugliest event in history he\u2026<\/p>\n<p>GAVE Himself<br \/>\nCREATED sons and daughters<br \/>\nEstablished a COMMUNITY of THANKFULNESS<br \/>\n&amp; is making all things BEAUTIFUL.<\/p>\n<p>This truly is the Gospel of the blessed (happy) God &#8211; 1 Timothy 1:11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a guest post by Brandon Davis.
