Thomas Brooks emphasizes that true happiness is found in having God as
one's portion, as stated in Psalms 144:15. He explains that the
happiness of those who belong to God is profound and beyond human
comprehension, asserting that nothing can truly make a person miserable
if God is their God. Brooks highlights that God is the source, giver,
sustainer, and center of all true happiness, making those who possess
Him the only truly happy individuals in the world.

"Happy are the people whose God is the Lord." Ps. 144:15

All the happiness and blessedness of the people of God

consists in this--that God is their God, and that He is

their portion, and that they are His inheritance!

Oh, the heaped up happiness of those whose God

is the Lord! The happiness of such is so great and so

glorious--as cannot be conceived, as cannot be uttered!

Nothing can make that man truly miserable, who has

God for his portion; nor can anything make that man

truly happy, who lacks God for his portion.

God is the author of all true happiness.

God is the donor of all true happiness.

God is the maintainer of all true happiness.

God is the center of all true happiness and blessedness.

Therefore, he who has Him for his God, for his portion,

is the only happy man in the world!

"Happy are the people whose God is the Lord." Ps. 144:15
