Proverbs 15:15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

 When God says...

“All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” (Proverbs 15:15 NKJV)

He challenges us to have the right attitude towards life. It is said: 'Attitude determines altitude.' If the way we see things is like seeing a glass of water as "half empty" instead of "half full", we are pushing our direction of thinking to despondence and affliction. If we allow that kind of attitude unhindered, we would be held captive by evil days of anxieties and depressions.

Rather, as believers in Jesus whose faith is in Him dependent on His grace, we are to wear the face of joy and bear a heart of gladness. We should nurture our mind with uplifting thoughts. Our view of things is of hope and optimism. Let's look at the glass of water as 'half full.' That way, our mind is attuned to a favorable expectation. Our hearts are kept in a merry and festive mode always, as Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words -"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4-7 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
