Take note satan, the Nephilim and the watchers knows how to create a barrier between God and man they do it with sin Psalm 66:18 highlights the barrier sin creates between a person and God.

Take note people are happy when they get married by a house a car and get a job. These things can’t come close to biblical happiness in any state or country.
Psalm 144:15 KJV
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
Context and Meaning:
Verse 15 serves as the concluding summary of this prayer. It highlights two tiers of blessing:
Physical and temporal blessings: The joy that comes from having a secure, prosperous, and thriving community.
Spiritual blessing: David concludes that while material provisions are wonderful, true, and lasting happiness (shalom) is ultimately found in having Yahweh (the Lord) as your covenant God.
Conclusion.
Sad to say some people get their resources mixed with their source of hope my transparent moment that used to be me.
Romans 15:13 NLT
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Divine story time.
Romans 15:13 is a powerful benediction where the Apostle Paul prays that the "God source of hope" will supernaturally fill believers with all joy and peace as they trust in Him, causing them to overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Reflecting on my own faith journey, I've found that biblical happiness—often described as 'blessedness' or 'esher' in Hebrew—is profoundly different from worldly happiness. Early in my life, I equated happiness with achieving milestones like marriage, buying a house, or securing a job. Yet, these never offered lasting contentment. It was only when I focused on cultivating purity in my heart, as Psalm 66:18 warns against harboring iniquity, that I experienced true spiritual peace. This biblical concept teaches us that sin creates an invisible barrier between our souls and God, hindering prayers and blessings. Sin twists our hearts away from God's law, disrupting the relationship He desires with us. Personally, I realized that repentance and sincere faith are key to breaking down such barriers. Furthermore, Psalm 144:15 reminds us that genuine happiness comes from having the Lord as our God. This happiness is not just physical well-being but encompasses lasting spiritual shalom—peace, wholeness, and restoration. Trusting in God, as Romans 15:13 beautifully states, not only fills us with joy and peace but overflows as confident hope through the Holy Spirit’s power. Embracing this reality transformed my understanding of happiness from a fleeting feeling based on circumstances to a steadfast state anchored in divine relationship. In practical terms, nurturing a heart aligned with God's will involves regular reflection, prayer, and turning away from pride and injustice. It means prioritizing spiritual growth over material possessions. Through this personal experience, I've come to appreciate that true happiness in the biblical sense profoundly enriches life, regardless of external challenges. It invites us all to renew our hearts, seek God's presence, and embrace the joy only He can provide.
