A happy heart
A person's heart is a major concern of the Lord. God's Word tells us that he doesn't look at the things people look at. We look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart; that is, our "thoughts and intentions" (1 Samuel 16:7). Today's verse tells us that a happy, or cheerful, heart make life "a continual feast." How do we obtainâand maintainâthis happy heart?
There are many clues throughout the book of Proverbs. We should not let our hearts be anxious or proud because anxiety and pride are deterrents to a cheerful heart (Proverbs 12:25; 16:5). Instead, God calls us to have pure hearts and to keep them on the right path (Proverbs 22:11; 23:19). These are positive steps to achieving a happy heart because when we are being obedient to God's Word and experiencing his smile of approval, our hearts will be lighter, even in difficult times.
The Bibles gives us many other instructions about how to have "healthy" hearts, but a good place to start is to embrace the truth of Proverbs 15:15 and ask God to show us how to develop hearts that are happy, no matter what challenges we are facing.
FATHER, help me to have a happy heart. Remove the anxiety that sometimes weighs my heart down. Keep my heart from growing proud. Instead, give me a pure heartâa heart that is pleasing to you. Help me to hide your Word in my heart so that I can walk in your ways and enjoy life that is a continual feast.
TODAY I VOW TO WALK WITH A HAPPY HEART AND NO MATTER WHAT IS THROWN AT ME TO KEEP A POSITIVE CONSTITUTION AND THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND LOVE..THREW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
GILBERT AND I HAVE BEEN GOING THREW THE TEST OF TIME AND SOMETIMES THINGS SEEM REAL DIM AND WITHOUT END... BUT THEN I REMEMBER THE WORD'S OF GOD.. I SEND YOU MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.. NOT TO DESTROY U BUT TO SAVE U AND THREW HIS BLOOD YOU ARE SEALED WITH EVERLASTING LIFE . THE GIFT IS FREE. LOVE AND OBEY MY SON AND I WILL LOVE AND REMEMBER YOU.
GOD IN ALL YOUR GLORY REMEMBER THIS CHILD OF YOURS AT THE END OF TIME FOR I AM SEALED WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS HEAR MY PRAYERS AND I WILL SIT AND WAIT... I KNOW YOU ARE ON THE SCENE AND IT IS A MATTER OF TIME WHERE UPON YOUR MIRACLES WILL BE COMPLETE. I KNOW U DO FOR GILBERT AND I ONLY WHAT IS BEST FOR US... AND THOUGH SOMETIMES WE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR WAY OF THINKING... WE STILL LOVE U AND KNOW THAT U WILL PREVAIL THE LIFE U WANT FOR US. FORGIVE US IF SOMETIMES WE TIRER..BUT KNOW THAT THE BATTLE IS NOT LOST FOR WE ARE NOT LOST TO YOU. WE LOVE U AND THANK U FOR THE DAILY BLESSING . MARTHA
