alma 41: 1 - 15
alma 41:10 - why is it true that wickedness never was happiness?
--> i've actually thought about this scripture a fair amount throughout my life, because when you look at people that are living in sin, they appear to be having the time of their lives! i watch people that are doing things that i know aren't right and wonder how they can be so happy, when i am told that wickedness never was happiness? then i stop and think about where i get my truest sources of happiness... it's through keeping the covenants i have made. there are times when i experience worldly happiness, but the happiness that comes and stays and is deeply rooted is a direct result of righteous living and correct choices. wickedness can never be happiness because wickedness is directed by satan. his main plan is to thwart the blessings of the Lord to His children. satan is miserable and wants company in that department. he can't have what we have so he does his best to ruin our chances of being happy too. the fake sense of security and happiness that comes when we sin is short-lived, and always followed up with a multitude of guilt and un-satisfaction.
