(Have A Light-Hearted Approach To Life)
TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 105:3 MSG
“Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek GOD. Live a happy life!”
LET’S TALK
There is a set amount of time that anyone would stay on earth until the Master arrives. That does mean something; it means you’ll give an account of your days on earth.
If you spent all your time here frowning, sad, angry, and despondent, it’ll be recorded for you, and you’ll tell the Lord why you lived your life that way.
No sad, unhappy, or bitter person can truly be successful. There are people who, every time you see them, always have frowns on their faces. Everybody knows them to be that way. You can hardly find them laughing or smiling. Don’t copy that life!
Decide to be a joyful, happy, loving, and laughing person. Someone may question, “But must I laugh every day?” Yes, you should! The way you live your life has a lot to do with the results you get.
You’re a spirit being, and your spirit rubs off on anything that concerns you. There’s a connection between you and your shoes, the clothes you wear, and everything about you!
Your personality rubs off on anything that belongs to you. And so, when you allow sadness into your heart and face, it has a negative impact on the things connected to you. It’s one reason the Bible enjoins us to be happy always (1 Thessalonians 5:16).
Think happy thoughts; centre your mind on things that make you happy. Stop focusing your mind on whatever makes you sad and unhappy. It’s a choice you must make. Your life depends more on you than you realise.
To be successful, you must let go of unhappiness and a sad look. Choose to be lighthearted. Lay off the burdens. Lay aside every weight. Choose to be happy all of the time.

Pray:
Dear Lord, thank you for the joy that’s in my heart. I’m strengthened and energised for increased productivity and effectiveness by your Spirit today, who fills my heart with rejoicing and my mouth with laughter. You’re my strength, my joy, and my song; I love you with all my heart. Hallelujah!
