Joy Trumps Sadness
A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 15:13
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.
True happiness doesn't come from telling jokes or reading comic strips. Those smiles are external, temporary, and superficial. The Lord suggests we pursue something far more significant — developing a lighter heart that comes from a confidence in the sovereign Creator.
