Take your medicine

"A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a
broken spirit dries up the bones" (Proverbs 17:22, AMP).
So many people today live with sickness, headaches, digestive problems,
lack of energy and so much more because they don't have the joy they
should. They aren't sleeping well at night and are living under so much
stress and pressure. But the Bible tells us that when we are happy and
joyful, it's like medicine to our bodies. One of the greatest stress
relievers God has given us is the gift of laughter. It not only makes
you feel better, but it actually releases healing throughout your
system. In fact, medical science tells us that when people laugh, it
boosts their immune system. It reduces pressure. People who laugh
regularly are 40% less likely to have a heart attack than people that
don't laugh regularly. Laughter triggers the right side of the brain,
which helps release creativity so we can make better decisions.
Laughter activates the body's natural tranquilizers that not only help
us calm down, but it helps us sleep better.
If you need to rejuvenate your mind and body, it's time to take your
medicine! Make time to laugh every single day. Don't take yourself so
seriously. When you approach life with a happy, light-hearted attitude,
you'll begin to rise higher and higher into the life of health and
blessing the Lord has in store for you.
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of laughter. Help me to see the joy in
all circumstances so I can receive Your inner healing. Show me ways to
help those around me so together we can live in Your joy and strength.
In Jesus' Name. Amen.
