Good Morning Beauties!
Happy weekend! Hopefully, you will have even more time in the next couple of days to seek God and all the wisdom He wants to impart to you. Have you noticed this blog comes out a little later on the weekends? I love to ease into the day with peace, calm, and joy, instead of the hurried manner of the weekdays. I don’t want to miss the blessings of the morning.
I’m hearing from God to stay on the topic of joy another day. He reminded me of a beautiful proverb which speaks of how joy relates to our physical, mental, and spiritual health. We’ve already looked at how joy is our strength, and it’s also our health.
As we’ve discovered over the past few days, joy brings freedom and peace. Can you imagine how good it is for your body, mind, and soul not to worry and carry so much stress? It’s nothing short of miraculous! Doctors and experts inform us of how detrimental stress is to our overall health, but we’ve known that before the medical journals told us so. Just look at the scripture below. God taught us this truth centuries ago.
Before we move on to our next attribute, please grab your journal and make a list of what still stresses you out. Beside each one write your prayer and release it to God. Ask for the freedom you need in that particular area and accept the joy that comes from getting rid of it.
I love the photo above. You know this beauty has experienced so much in her life. I’m sure it wasn’t all glamorous for her, and yet, when she’s obviously an old lady, she is still laughing, still full of joy. Perhaps that’s the reason why she’s lived a long life. Selah.
Let’s get up and add some healthy years to our lives by singing, dancing, and praising our Awesome God!
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
