Hello precious ladies!
"I will speak of the glorious honor
of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works."
I want to speak of the majesty and
wondrous works of my God.
He always has something wonderful for us
if our eyes, ears and hearts are tuned in to Him.
Yesterday morning during my quiet time
alone with the Lord,
I fell upon Proverbs chapter 15 verse 30
and was intrigued wanting to know more.
What caught my eye was the word "light"
because of the way the verse read.
""The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
and a good report maketh the bones fat."
(Proverbs 15:30)
Isn't that a beautiful verse for us ladies to think on?
"The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart"
These words made me think of joy,
and so I began to study it more
to see if I was on the right track, and I was.
As I was reading this verse, I began to think of
those who have a glow about them
with eyes that are bright and cheery
because of the joy in their heart.
Then, when I looked in the concordance
this particular verse using the word "light"
referred to just that.
It means "happiness ~ cheerfulness."
WOW!
When we have the joy of the Lord,
our countenance will be radiant,
we will be happy and cheerful.
A positive outlook (light of the eyes) creates a ripple effect:
it spreads joy to others and produces encouraging words,
all of which create a healthier, happier environment.
"Maketh" "good news fills one's bones with
marrow or imparts strength."
That is so beautiful.

Our countenance should be as a light;
a brightness of "light" filled with happiness
and cheerfulness so as to be passed on to others.
To "maketh" is to be "fat ~ well fed" ~ "good news"
spreads to others and fills ones bones with marrow
imparting strength.

Are you filled with happiness and cheerfulness
creating a ripple effect of joy
that will spread into the lives of others?
Are you spreading the "good news"
imparting strength to others?
May we all hide this wonderful verse in our hearts
and apply it to our lives
bringing honor and glory to our God.

"A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance."
Heavenly father, fill us with Your Spirit,
causing us to have the joy of the Lord.
May our lives lived for You,
ripple down and touch the hearts of others
bringing with it joy and strength.
In Your honor and Name we pray.
Amen.
Be Cheerful
