While reading the Bible in the Book of Proverbs, a certain verse caught my attention. It seems very practical for the time we are living in. Proverbs 15:15 (NLT) says, “For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.” The word, “Despondent” means, “feeling or showing extreme discouragement, dejection, or depression.” When difficulties and bizarreness seem to be increasing each day, it can be difficult to avoid feeling discouraged or depressed. However, this is not supposed to be the portion for those who follow the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
The verse in Proverbs continues and says, “...For the happy heart, life is a continual feast.” As followers of the Lord, our portion is to have a happy heart and continual feast regardless of the circumstances surrounding us. However, this can be much easier to say than live. This is why I want to give you two Scriptures to ponder if you find yourself becoming discouraged or depressed.
Psalm 2:4 (NLT): “But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.” God is ruling the universe seated in heaven. He is laughing at the plans of the enemy and scoffing at them. The enemy will not be victorious over the Lord.
Zephaniah 3:17 c-d (NLT): “...With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” The Lord wants to calm you of all fears with His perfect love. Ponder this, and live a life of feasting.
