“To my heart You are a richer joy than all their corn and new wine.” Psalm 4:7
Many had sought happiness in other things, but the Psalmist had sought it in the favor of the Lord, and the Lord had given him a degree of happiness which they had never found in the most prosperous worldly condition. This happiness had its seat in the "heart," and not in any external circumstances. All true happiness must have its seat there, for if the heart is sad, of what avail are the most prosperous external circumstances?
