A Happy Heart



               Have you had your Joy Juice today?  There’s plenty to be found in the pages of God’s Word.  

                Do you find time to read the Bible every day? That’s a great habit! Some people choose the early mornings for their quiet time.  Others are not early risers, so they find time later in the day. Night-owls may choose to read God’s Word before they go to bed at night.  No matter when you find the time, the important thing is that you FIND THE TIME. 

                When I read, my spiritual radar is tuned in to the verses that refer to JOY and REJOICING and GLADNESS.  It’s amazing how often those words can be found in scripture. 

               Recently I was reading in the 15th chapter of Proverbs.  In that one chapter alone I spotted five verses that deal with joy and cheer.  

                Verse 13 says: “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” 

                The “happy heart” this verse is referring to is the joyful heart that comes from having a relationship with God. A heart of genuine joy is a grateful heart because it holds the JOY of knowing that NO MATTER how much difficulty comes our way, threatening to  crush our spirit, our Father God is our constant companion.

                 Drink your Joy Juice continually so that it will seep into your heart and bring comforting joy, regardless of your circumstances.
