“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.” [1]
Instead of considering words that cause anxiety leading to depression, why not be inspired by good words from God’s Holy Word, the Bible, that lead to gladness?
Jesus said, “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” [2]
The Heavenly Father knows what we need. He keeps the oxygen in the air at the right levels for us. He causes the sun to shine for light and warmth. He maintains the universe with all its stars and planets. He is more than able to meet our physical needs.
Our enemy, the devil, would like to preoccupy our lives with worldly worries instead of Kingdom of God triumphs.
The Lord shows us a better way. He says, “Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.” [3]
Enjoy the Lord! Serve the Lord! Worship the Lord! Enjoy gladness in His presence. Start sincerely singing His praises! Rest in His love! Let go! Let God! All things are possible with God!
[1] Proverbs 12:25
[2] Matthew 6:31-33
[3] Psalm 100:1
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
