Mary Magdalene was happy…on the first day of the week in Mark 16;9-14..She saw Jesus after Hed been crucified and buried and there He was standing before her…she thought He’s risen and she ran and told the others of her group…she thought she said and she believed and told… she had happiness…right?dj
Good thinking DJ, It is all there, think, say and do.
Many times or should I say way too many times I am minus one of the ingredients and this makes for a day of unhappiness.
This makes me think of the psalmist praying, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14
HARMONY!! I know a little about that. Much more to learn but I have SOME knowing concerning one of the universal fundamentals of music. The definition of Harmony in Music is much like the quote, “think…say…do”. Although each verb indicates a particular action differing from each of the others, YET when all three are operating synergetically, a “HARMONY” of delightful proportion is created, a sweet sound to the ears. Harmony “fits” together. It takes two, or more, various tones of specific pitch and presents a meld of pleasant sound a “Happy” sound. It creates integrity, that is, like the MELD of SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY presents when all three are in Harmony by THINKING SAYING AND DOING with one determination. Integrity=wholenss==Authentic Self=HAPPINESS!
It seems as I study the scriptures that if you are thinking upon things that are right,true, noble, lovely, of good report, just, pure, praiseworthy(Phillipians 4:8) than it stands to reason you will do things right and true (for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he Prov 23:7). And out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matt 12:34). So the speaking will line up with the heart. All will be in harmony and you will have God’s peace which to me is real happiness.
And I like very much the insight that Dorothy said about Mary. It appears her thinking/believing was on a lovely and good report about Jesus (in contrast to those she told who had been with Him but didn’t believe her report Matt 16:11), her actions lined up with her thinking and like Dorothy said, she was happy.
Look what else I found..Luke 23;34-46…Jesus said (34)”Father forgive them; for they know not what they do…(43)”verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise”..(46)Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit..” (He thought , He said, and He did)….also in Luke 24 verse 44..Jesus said” These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was jet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me..Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;….(and He did)…..dj
In looking for ways to have thoughts, words and actions act in harmony in porder to produce happiness, I found where one definition of happines is prosperity or contentment. In order to have prosperity Joshua 1:8 says that the Book of the Law should not depart from our mouths (I take that to mean it should be what we speak about).It goes on to say we should meditate (think on it and observe what it says to do) day and night so that we can do all that is written in it. THEN we can be prosperous (have happiness) and have good success. And a definition of harmony is tranquility and Romans 8:6 says if we are spiritually minded there is life and peace (or harmony). This seems to take focus and determined will to do.
When I read this I thought walk, talk, and do all with the Holy Spirit leading, guiding, and directing. I pray we will be able to do this without missing the mark of excellence and be in harmony with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Promises in regard to the Holy Ghost or Comforter:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
