I read this verse in my time with God yesterday, and it really popped out to me.
'A merry heart doeth good like a medicine'... this verse is so, SO true.
How many times do you see Christians walking around with their frowny face on, complaining about all the trials of life they are facing?
No wonder people don't want to be like us, Christians aren't responding any differently to those trials that they are facing either! So, what's the difference?
Today, I want to challenge you to have 'a merry heart'.
Don't let those trials you are going through get you down.
Don't let the day that doesn't seem to go 'right' get you in a grumpy attitude.
Don't let the zit that randomly popped up on your face right before school/family pictures get you frustrated.
Don't let that person who said something harsh get to you.
Don't let the baby who wants to be held all day {the exact day you have 1,000 things to do} get you irritated.
Don't let your joy and love for Christ turn into a broken spirit.
Don't let it.
Choose to laugh or smile {instead of getting upset} at all those things that don't seem to be going our way.
Sometimes all you need to do is take a step back and look at the situation with fresh eyes. It's really amazing at what you can laugh at instead of getting upset over.
A merry heart is like a medicine. So whether your having a bad day or someone else is, choose to administer that medicine and turn that broken spirit into a merry heart!
