A Joyful Heart: How to Cultivate a Continuous Feast
Proverbs 15:15b
But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
I have a joyful, merry and cheerful heart and I am feasting on the goodness of the Lord on a continual basis!
Instead of having a down-trodden heart, an anxious heart or even a stressed and depressed heart, we have the joy of the Lord, which is our strength deep within.
This joy is given by the Holy Spirit, actually it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23). This joy is not just a moment of happiness and then disappears quickly. Because this joy is like medicine to us.
Proverbs 17:22 NASB A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
A joyful heart is like good medicine. A joyful heart will be medicine to the immune system and therefore helps stopping diseases. If we have a broken spirit, which is when we are anxious, stressed, angry, depressed and down-trodden, a door is open to invite diseases. Yes, we are dis-eased!
Let's tell our soul to praise the Lord and worship Him exuberantly.
