I find great help in thinking about the Bible as God’s guidebook to joy. Isn’t the Bible a Divine Prescription of how to cure us from all unhappiness in the long run? Now, the medicine that the Bible prescribes is not always fun to take. It might involve suffering. But the cure, the cure that it brings, is infinite and eternal joy at God’s right hand.
