God did not promise us a life without trials but He did promise us that He would never leave us alone without a comforter, the dear Holy Spirit. He wants us to have an abundant life and live out that life without hypocrisy. He wants us to show the world that life in Him is full and rewarding now and for eternity.
Rejoice and be glad in the days that He gives you here on earth always with an eye toward eternity!
Love God above anyone or anything and love your neighbor as much as you do yourself. In keeping these commands of Christ you will fulfill all the commandments.
True blessedness, according to Jesus, is found in obedience to God’s revelation. Faithlife Bible.
It is easy to allow traditional practices to take the place of the authority of the Scriptures. Jesus offers His blessing to those who respond concretely to God’s will as expressed in the Bible. NKJ Bible.
Luke 11:27–28 (NKJV)
27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
James 1:25 (NKJV)
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.

1 Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
