Reading – Proverbs 15-16

Highlight Verse:

“For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

A couple of my co-workers are constantly talking about what’s wrong.
• Corporate does this wrong.
• Customers do that wrong.
• The AI in our dispatch system messes that up.

Oh wait. That last one is me sometimes.

Yes, I can get sucked into the negative attitude too.

But look at the second part of today’s highlight verse.

“For the happy heart, life is a continual feast.”

That sounds pretty awesome to me!

Of course, my mind goes to food, but the word feast is used in a broader sense here.

Basically, life can be a constant celebration when you go through it with a positive attitude.

People criticize singer Forest Frank because his songs are always positive.

I think he may be on to something.

Try it.

I’ll link one of his songs here.

Sing along and see if it doesn’t brighten your day at least a little bit.

How have you seen a positive attitude make a difference in your life?
