Discover a More Joyful Life 😊 - For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he... Proverbs23:7 KJV Lady Wisdom asks, “What are you singing? Are you singing for joy, or are you singing the blues?” King David believed in the power of music. He set up a choir to sing in the tabernacle day and night. King David felt that God deserved to be praised untiringly. Therefore, he created the first tabernacle choir and gave them this song to sing. It was a song of thanksgiving to the Lord.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord and pray to him,” they sang. “Tell the peoples of the world about his mighty doings. Sing to him yes, sing his praises and tell of his marvelous works. Glory in his holy name. Let all rejoice who seek the Lord. Seek the Lord, yes, seek his strength. And seek his face untiringly. 1 Chronicles 16:8-11 TLB
I believe that there is something about singing songs of praise and thanksgiving to God that just wakes up the soul and fills it with joy. The joy then gives us the strength to look at life from a more optimist view. As we remember God’s goodness to us, our hearts are transformed from feeling down and depressed to feeling alive and grateful.
There is a science of happiness that is being discovered for a more joyful life in our relationships, spirit, mind, and body. More and more people realize that what we meditate on can determine our mental and physical health. Singing allows us to bounce back from feelings of anxiety and defeat. An upbeat song can make us dance. Our body becomes more relaxed as we release the stress of the day. We become present in the moment and can feel the emotion of happiness, which can lead to lasting joy. It is essential to infuse our days with more comfort and fun. We can do this by getting up each morning and declaring, “This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Prayer:
Dear Lord, Help me to release a song of praise to you every day. I want to sing to you and tell others about how good you are. Amen😊

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
