Summary

(Psalm 146:5) What is the secret to keeping a happy heart?— Today, in Psalm 146 we find the answer. As we study this Scripture we find the expression "the God of Jacob." God chose to associate himself with a weak man, and we should rejoice that He associates His name with ours. (06262221102) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

0:00.0	The last five Psalms, Psalm 146 through Psalm 150, each begin the exact same way.
0:13.2	Praise ye the Lord.
0:15.1	As we enter the season of Thanksgiving and praise, Scott is walking us through this crescendo of praise, a study he is calling
0:23.6	the Hallelujah Chorus. In our busy lives, we must make time to praise the Lord not only for what
0:31.0	he's given us, but praise the Lord for who he is. And when our heart is filled with praise, we are ready for worship.
0:40.3	Let's join Scott now for today's study.
0:47.4	There are days that the hardest thing I have to do is simply keep my own heart happy in Jesus.
0:53.6	I'm just being very transparent with you
0:55.8	today. People think preachers jump out of bed, can't wait to read the Bible and pray and witness.
1:01.7	I'm just going to tell you nothing could be further from the truth. Oh, there are those days when you

1:11.5	our own flesh and we're overcome with our own inadequacies and weaknesses and what we have to deal with.
1:18.8	It'll drain the life out of you. I want to tell you today how to keep a happy heart. Would you like to
1:23.0	know how to keep a happy heart, not just to get in a happy state for a few moments, but to keep your heart
1:28.3	happy in Jesus. The answer is found in our verse today in Psalm 146 in verse number five. It says
1:34.5	this, happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help whose hope is in the Lord,
1:42.9	his God. What a great verse.
1:45.2	Let me read it again.
1:46.4	Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
1:50.4	whose hope is in the Lord is God.
1:52.6	Now, we're in the Hallelujah chorus.
1:54.7	We're learning how to sing to the Lord.
