Good Morning! I'm your host Lonnie Wibberding, and you are listening to God Notes. A daily devotional podcast sent out from sunny Southern California.
Today is Friday, January 12, 2024.
As I record this podcast, I've just returned from vacation with my wife. We got away and went skiing for a few days. And it felt really good. I feel alive again.
I often find myself doing things constantly. Trying to fill all my time in with productivity. Because it seems like the right, responsible thing to do. But then life stops being so much fun.
Our text today is from Proverbs 17:22. It says:
"A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Despite my personal issues with feeling guilty when I'm not doing something productive, God actually gives us permission to slow down and enjoy life. To take time to do things that bring joy to our hearts. Then everything else we do will be better.
A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Take time to cheer your heart and enjoy the life God gave you.
May God Bless your day. We'll talk again tomorrow.
