Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
The devotion is titled The Best Medicine by Darla Noble. To me, the message is to remind us that love and support can be the best medicine. We can take a lesson from Thelma and her church family. To what Thelma told her nurse, “My friends are covering me with so much love there’s no time for any pain.” We as Christians need to follow the formula Thelma’s church used.
Reflection: What can we do today to make someone’s life a bit more cheerful?
Here I my response: I blog every day. I can cheerfully greet people with a genuine smile and offer any assistance.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, please open our eyes and heart to see the needs of others. Help us provide them with the medicine they need to take their pain away. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
