A continual feast...
A God-ward attitude leads to a cheerful, joy-filled outlook
on life! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! We each need to preach truth to
ourselves, and actively stand on it; activate it!
A heart filled with the glad things of the Lord, the glad
tidings of peace and love and the heart that refuses to let life (sorrow)
dictate how it "feels" will lead to a cheerful face!
The one who has understanding -- who knows God is alive and
seeks to walk with Him -- will be satisfied in Jesus and still want more of
Him! But, the one who is foolish -- does not recognize God in all things at all
times -- is only interested in simple things and "folly."
Finally, for the person who doesn't look to the Lord, life
is a burden, but that one who has been made cheerful by God finds life a feast
and eats plates of joy every day!
"A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of
heart the spirit is crushed. The heart of him who has understanding seeks
knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. All the days of the afflicted
are evil, but the cheerful of heart has a continual feast." (Proverbs
15:13-15 ESV)
