"A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."
Proverbs 17:22 NKJV
When we are happy it shows in all we do. People notice and are infected by the smile that we give. It has a warming effect. Furthermore, a good belly laugh is so beneficial to our health; it brings us a healthy release. When did you last have one?
Alternatively, those who are defeated and broken see the effect in their health and attitude. When a person has nothing to look forward to or be happy about, their life dries up.
Bob Marley wrote a brilliant song called called Three Little Birds and the words of the chorus were:
'Don't worry about a thing ' cause every little thing is gonna be all right'
You are probably humming this catchy little song in your head right now. The song made people happy, that's what it was intended to do. God also has happy words for us which are life-giving.
'But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.' Matthew 6:33-34. NKJV
Worry is a tormentor, it rules our lives if we allow it to. But Jesus tells us not to worry, in fact, it is a command. He does not want us wasting one moment fretting about the things of the world. There is always a solution, and Jesus has it.
Be honest, just lately, has your life been filled with so much worry that it is impossible to smile or even feel that there is a way through the mess. There is a way, God will show you if you ask Him.
The song above says, 'Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be all right'.
Don't you think it is time that you believe that if you belong to Jesus, it will be all right? Don't you think that it is about time that you spoke life to those dried up bones of yours and put a smile on your face? You belong to the King of kings. He will never let you down. Stand up and shout, 'AMEN'.
