Laugh out Loud - Proverbs 17 - [REAL] - Brent Phillips - Encounter Houston

“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.” -Bill Cosby

Ecclesiastes says that there is a time for everything, laughing is good for us and it is okay if we do it often.

Life becomes much harder when you forget to laugh; and you have stopped looking for the opportunity to laugh or be cheerful, and have joy. It is amazing how your body changes when you take the time to laugh. Scripture tells us that laughter is medicine to the body.

Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Laughter is a gift from heaven; it can bring hope to any situation. Sometimes we forget to look for the things that God has given us and instead we focus on the things that He hasn’t given us.

Nehemiah 8:10 “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

The world has tried to counterfeit the things that God has created. It takes things that God has created it and corrupts it to have a negative purpose that was originally intended.

But even in the darkest areas of our lives and situations the LORD is our strength; and He can redeem all our circumstances.
