A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

Be happy. It’s one way of being wise.

I think by being happy it actually affects the way that you look too.

Being happy in your skin that's what it's all about.

No one is drawn to writing about being happy or feelings of joy.

Let me be content with being happy, without sighing that I am not distinguished.

To be happy, make others happy.

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: THURSDAY 10TH JULY 2025

THEME: *THE LAW OF ATTRACTING GOOD THINGS*

MEMORIZE
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

READ
Psalms 34:9-16
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Everything migrates irresistibly in the direction of the maker.*

MESSAGE
The scriptures confirm to us that all things were created by God, and for His pleasure, they were all created. Rev 4:11.

It further says that God is the centre of things, and by Him, all things consist or are held together.

Paul, the apostle affirmed this in
Colossians 1:16-17 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."

This passage tells us that all things derive their existence and sustenance from the Lord God of all creation.

This also means that all things are sensitive to the creator and are thus attracted to Him.

This being true; It goes to say therefore that anyone who seeks the Lord will invariably possess the power that attracts all things in his direction.

Hear this beloved: To seek the Lord is to stop living in needs. When a man therefore makes the Lord the centre of his pursuits in life, he will never have to look for any good thing anymore in life.

Today's memory verse tells us to "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

In other words, make God your greatest priority and pursuit and you will never have to worry about anything anymore in your life, because when a man has God in his life, everything will find that man no matter where the man is, and no matter how long it takes.
Seeking God is the highest business with the highest turnover in the universe because everything migrates irresistibly in the direction of the maker.

ACTION STEPS
1. Review your priorities and put God and His holy ways first in your life.
2. Turn and run away from anything that makes it hard for you to draw close to God.
3. Increase your intimacy with God daily.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father,Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God in heaven, I turn my heart and soul completely unto you today, keep me perpetually in your love and grace, and help me to seek you above all things in Jesus' name. Amen.

CONFESSION
I decree and declare that my quests for all things is over today, I shall seek and pursue God and His righteousness with my whole heart and all good things shall pursue and overtake me in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*Everything migrates irresistibly in the direction of the maker.*

HYMN
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way !
While we do His good will.
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.

2
Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away ;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3
Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay ;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

4
But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay ;
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5
Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we'll walk by His side in the way ;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

PLEASE SHARE

My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher.

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.

Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
