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😊

Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you not let love come into the hidden places of your heart so that you can learn how to be wise?”   My instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold. For the value of wisdom is far above rubies; nothing can be compared with it. Proverbs 8:10-11 TLB There are hidden places within us that block our ability to gain the wisdom that we need to move forward. These hidden places in our hearts have been overtaken by squatters that are contaminating our thoughts. Their work has been to stop the progress of God’s plan for our lives.  Some of these squatters are fear, pride, arrogance, dishonesty, lack of integrity, fear of the future, setbacks, stress, frustration, anxiety, worry, depression, pressure, and seeking approval of others, to name a few. Whenever Lady Wisdom speaks to us, these other voices contradict what she is saying. Sometimes these voices sound like a trusted friend, parent, or teacher. However, we must be able to develop the skill o

Goodness the Way to Find Life   The man who tries to be good, loving and kind finds life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 21:21TLB   Goodness comes from the heart. A person with a heart that is wanting to please God will want to be like God. We know that God is good. It is His nature. If we're going to be like Him, which He told us to do, then we must study how God acts in situations. Goodness is a trait that we must take the time to work out. It requires that we examine our motives and assess our thought toward the situation and people. Asking the question: Why do we do the things that we do? Is it for man’s approval, or is it from the heart? It is our responsibility to pursue doing things that please God. Treating others with kindness and helping others with acts of goodness is what will set us apart from others who say that they love God and want to follow him. People will know us by our love. Our acts of generosity will speak for us. There is a reward to followin
