Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-23

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Being around merry people is a good thing. It’s like medicine!

We all need to have good people around us; people who can make us laugh. People that are uplifting to be around. People who are encouraging and full of life.

It’s so important we get our dose of merriness!

Being around negative people and “downers” can cause us to take on their same attitude if we are not careful.

It’s not funny how easily we can start acting like those that we hang with and listen to a lot.

People that are hurt may tend to be negative. They will usually be bitter. They will not want to discuss fun and exciting things. They usually prefer to hear bad drama.

So, we need to limit our time with them.

Broken people don’t want to see anything good. They are lost in their sorrow, and they have the “poor me” attitude.

They may also have the “I have the right to act like this attitude”.

If we can’t positively impact them, then we may want to try to avoid spending a lot of time with people that are never happy.

We should obviously try to share the love of God with them and try to lift them up. But there will be some who, no matter what others say or do for them, will find something to cry about.

Try to spend time with those who are happy, cheerful, and encouraging to be around, and get a dose of good medicine!

It will rub off on you, especially if you may be going through a hard time or in need of encouragement.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-20

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NKJV) 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

No matter who we are or where we are in this life, there are times when we need some edifying and comforting. And there will be times when we need to be the ones to give it out.

No one can go long without it. It’s really what keeps us going. It keeps us alive!

There are so many ways to bring comfort.

A simple smile or a hug. A kind word, a small gift. A phone call or a letter. These little touches can make a huge impact.

Laughter is great! I was with my oldest daughter recently, doing some grocery shopping, when we saw someone we knew and hadn’t seen for quite a while. We began talking and catching up on things.

We were all laughing and having a good old time right there in the grocery store. As the people heard us laughing, they asked if they could join in! Others were remarking that we were having way too much fun!

After we were all done, we said our goodbyes. We were all checking out and the cashier said, “boy I just loved to hear you all laughing and having a good time back there. I almost left my register to go see what was going on”.

People love laughter. They love to see smiles. It truly is contagious and eye-catching. The Bible says it does us good, like medicine.

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Be merry. Comfort and edify each other!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-14-16

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine…

Laughter is good. It can help us get through trials and tough situations. It can help us keep things in their proper perspective.

Many of us don’t laugh enough. We tend to get caught up in everyday life and the things that we need to tend to, the things we need to get done, or the problem that we’re trying to work through at the moment.

Some of us have personalities that cause us to be serious much of the time. I know, because I’m one of them.

But God has been teaching me for the last several years how important it is to have fun and set aside our cares and concerns sometimes and enjoy the life we have. We need to laugh!

And sometimes we need a good old belly laugh; one that causes our face to hurt from laughing so hard and so long. It’s good for us!

Yes, we may be facing serious things. We may be working through a trial or hard time. But nothing that we’re facing is so dire that we can’t heed God’s word and laugh!
