Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy

There're some good messages in this song.  Sometimes we get all worked up over adversity and conflict and listening to this song reminds us to take a chill pill.  But even though this song might be fun to listen to, its counsel is useless without figuring out what we need to do and receive to be happy. No one can just be happy upon command.  Otherwise we would all be happy.  We actually have to figure out how to obtain happiness.  I'm not saying it's all works.  I'm saying it is a balance between grace and works and we need to use our agency to figure that balance out.  But the real chill pill that works before we can actually figure everything out is this: 

"Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalms 46:10
