This Week in Scripture; a joyful heart.

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Proverbs 17:22

Lately, I've been out of sorts; I couldn't explain why, since things have been looking up. Even so, there's always a small, dark cloud hanging nearby.

That's why this verse will be memorized this week; one who has a joyful heart can go through trials bruised but never crushed. The one with the crushed spirit withers and fades away.

When we find ourselves with crushed spirits, we need to turn to the Holy Spirit (We are His temple.) to give us a joyful heart. While feelings are fleeting in this world, joy remains constant in the Christian's heart.

May the Lord bless you with a joyful heart this week!
