“If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” – John 13:17 

  “Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.” – Proverbs 3:13 NKJV

            Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
                                                                                                 (Isaiah 12:3)

 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. 

(Habakkuk 3:17-19)

Psalm 68:3 
But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.

Ecclesiastes 7:14
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.
