The Heart That Makes Your Life

Tuesday, July 20, 2021

You probably think that if things are going bad you're having a bad day, and if things are going good you're having a good day. However, the Bible says something completely different that can truly change the way you live. Proverbs 15:15 says, "All the days of the downcast are bad, but a cheerful heart has an everlasting banquet." In other words, the days are bad because of a downcast heart. On the other hand, there's a never-ending banquet where the heart is cheerful. It's not bad days that make the downcast heart, it's the downcast heart that makes the days bad. It's not the continual banquet that makes the good heart, it's the good heart that makes the continual banquet. The days don't make the heart, the heart makes the days. If your heart is complaining, your days will be rotten. If your heart is full of praise and thanksgiving, your days will be full and beautiful. Want a good day? Seek to have a good heart. Give thanks in all things and your life will become an everlasting banquet.
