Daily Devotional for November 30, 2022
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones Prov 17:22
A good, positive attitude is an effective cure for anything that ails you. Medical science has proven this in many studies in recent years. Cancer patients who had a positive attitude and believed that they would conquer their illness had a better cure rate and lived longer than those who did not. But Yahweh, our Creator, knew this right from the beginning and encouraged Solomon to pass along this advice thousands of years ago.
It is a fact that those who wake up each morning looking for the best usually find it and those who look for disaster find that as well. How do you begin your day? Do you get up grumbling about having to go to work with people that you do not enjoy being around and performing tasks that displease you? Do you begin the day by complaining about the things absent in your life? Do you start off looking only at the half full glass in front of you?
Or do you see that Yahweh is there working out the things that are not right? Can you see each day comes with its blessings and with its challenges?
Grumblers and complainers experience more sickness and have a greater risk of being overcome by depression than those who have a cheerful heart. Start off today with a cheerful approach and a commitment not to allow anything to minimize the effectiveness of your medication.
