Did You Know a Joyful Heart Is Good Medicine?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know a joyful heart is good medicine. In Jesus’s name, amen.
A person with a joyful heart can fill a room with joy.
Such a person is not only good medicine for themselves, he or she is good medicine for those around them.
Proverbs 17:22 (ESV) contrasts a joyful heart with a crushed spirit.
“A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
I pray for wisdom for those who have a crushed spirit. Devastating situations can happen to anyone.
At such times, turn to God.
When everything seems to be falling apart, seek first the kingdom of God. Trust God, now and always. Perhaps God will bring a person to you who has a joyful heart.
