Be Happy!
Would you like to know the secret to good health? The Bible has the answer. You knew I was going to say that, didn’t you.
Listen to this from the Amplified Bible.
Proverbs 17:22
A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. The New Living Translation says that a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
Look at this:
A happy heart is good medicine.
I like this kind of medicine. It doesn’t taste bad and there are no harmful side effects.
A cheerful mind works healing.
What is it that would make our hearts happy and our minds cheerful? It is the mindset that regardless of what we are facing or how something looks, we know from God’s Word that He will take care of it for us. We may not FEEL happy and we may not FEEL cheerful, but we decide by an act of our will that we will be happy and we will be cheerful.
Do you know that doctors are now confirming that patients who have a positive outlook on life are much more likely to recover and to recover quickly from illnesses. But if people decide that they are sick and nothing can help them, they get worse and in many cases die. It is remarkable how God has designed us and our human minds to determine our way of life. When our minds are in agreement with our spirits which are one with the Spirit of God because we are born again, we have a winning way of life, a life of health.
The more that you and I put the Word of God in our mouths, keep it before our eyes and hear it with our ears, the healthier we will be and the younger we will get. Proverbs 4 tells us that God’s Word is health to all our flesh. Some translations say medicine to all our flesh.
In Proverbs 15:15 in the Amplified Bible we see that anxious thoughts and forebodings cause our days to be days of despondency and affliction but that he who has a glad heart has a continual feast regardless of the circumstances.
You want divine health. Make a decision today that you will think happy thoughts and be a happy person and that you will be a cheerful, positive person. I am making that decision.
BE HAPPY!
