British philosopher Sir Francis Bacon once said…
“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not…
a sense of humor to console him for what he is.”
In spite of the state of our world today, humor can go a long way toward making tough times bearable. Humorist Bill Cosby observed that..
“You can turn painful situations around through laughter.
If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.”
Our God is a God of joy, happiness, and laughter. Proverbs 17:22 says that,
“A cheerful heart is good medicine…”.
Throughout scripture, God puts great value on joy.
There is strength in joy…
There is hope in joy…
There is health in joy…
No matter what your circumstances, make it a point to find joy. As C.S. Lewis said…
“Joy is the banner flown from the heart when the King is in residence”.
Allow your life to be a declaration of the presence of the King.
