Remove the Cobwebs!
“A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)
Today’s Morsel: How much time do you
spend seeking joy and happiness. They are free, but most people don’t
look for them. Some of the most depressing people, they say, are those
that work in the circus, a clown, folks who go to church often, schoolteachers,
those who have some of the best jobs in the world, stand-up comedians, and those
who teach end-time prophecy. One could look at this list and say that
these should be some of the happiest people in the world. But for some
reason they are depressed. They should be filled with laughter and joy
every day. But sad to say, they are not. Laughter is the brush that
sweeps away the cobwebs of the heart. God desires that we have a merry
heart. Have you ever noticed that most of the children's nursery rhythms,
or children's songs, require you to interact with motions that will make you
laugh at yourself? Is this why Jesus said that we must become as little
children or we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven? Laughter is good
medicine. Depression is usually caused by not enough laughter and not
doing enough to cause others to laugh with us. So, go ahead and get rid
of those cobwebs over your heart by having a good laugh. Remember, the joy of
the Lord is your strength.
Sing: Smile a while and give your face
a rest, raise your hands to the One you love the best. Turn around to someone
new, shake their hand, and smile.
Thought For Today: “Laughter is
the brush that sweeps away the cobwebs of the heart.”
