Psalms are a wonderful place to get your soul into a “happy state.” This summer, I have been memorizing Psalm 65. The Psalm shows us how we can experience joy when we meditate on how both the power of God and the goodness of God are seen in His creation.
George Mueller was a 19th century pastor who had a great passion for orphans. You can read more about George Mueller on the Desiring God site.
Below is one of his most famous quotes in which he describes the first priority of his daily routine.
I saw more clearly than ever, that the first and great primary business to which I ought to attend every day, was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might sere the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished . . . I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it. George Mueller of Bristol
