(Pro 15:15) All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
This verse is a simple road map for the day and tells us that the journey begins in the heart. Afflicted is another word for depressed, or poor in Spirit. If we wake up feeling poor in Spirit, but know Jesus, we can hopefully remember that the depressed feeling is not of God and call it out to flee. Jesus is the exact opposite; more rich in Spirit than we probably have actually realized-and we have access to that treasure! So, let's choose to be merry in our hearts (because it is an intentional choice) and feast on the day as the royalty we are in Christ Jesus.
