Drinking Out of
God’s Fountains of Health and Joy
A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a
broken spirit dries the bones. |
|
Proverbs 17:22 |
Many times we get weighed down with the cares of this
life. When your eyes are on your cares and worries, you manifest what you
think. If they are anxious thoughts then they will produce a heavy or
depressed heart. When you have your eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ and
the Gospel then His joy and peace will flow freely in and around and through
you.
Anxiety
in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad. |
|
Proverbs 12:25 |
When you meet discouraged or depressed people they usually have some kind
of bitterness inside of them. They meditate and relive the hurts of the past
continuously rather than to seek the face of God. When your eyes are on Him
healing joy and peace will flow through you like a mighty river of life.
| Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and
enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly
[following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive
and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and
rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. But his delight and
desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the
instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and
studies) by day and by night. And he shall be like a tree firmly planted
[and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its
season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall
prosper [and come to maturity]. |
|
(Psalms 1:1-3 Amplified Bible) |
You can change your situations in your life to a total victory by letting
the past die in your heart and mind. The way to victory is to abide and
live
contentiously in Jesus Christ
| These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the
world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. |
|
(John 16:33) |
| Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are
lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if
there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things. |
|
(Philippians 4:8) |
