“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22
We deal with many serious and weighty things. Nevertheless, we must never allow those things to rob us of our joy. We can and should take satisfaction in and from our work and the fruits of our labor.
As the writer of Ecclesiastes says, “I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all their hard work on earth during the few days of their life that God has given them, for this is their reward. (5:18)
Let us be intentional in being grateful for everything we have: our friends, family, our food, clothing, and shelter, our health and strength, the opportunity to live and breathe and see and do. Be grateful for our work be that work be done at home or in the marketplace.
Yes, there will be hard days and even hard seasons. But we can’t allow those to crush our spirits. We must actively look for ways to embrace life particularly when things are hard.
Let us be determined to go through life with cheerful hearts.
