My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Lisa M Samra, uses a a very human story to illustrate how God provides a prescription for well being thru His word. The ODB author wrote … Greg and Elizabeth have a regular “Joke Night” with their four school-age children. Each child brings several jokes they’ve read or heard (or made up themselves!) during the week to tell at the dinner table. This tradition has created joyful memories of fun shared around the table. Greg and Elizabeth even noticed the laughter was healthy for their children, lifting their spirits on difficult days.
The benefit of joyful conversation around the dinner table was observed by C. S. Lewis, who wrote, “The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal.”
One of the best reasons one finds me here EACH DAY, digging into God’s mine of truth [i.e., His word], is to find and internalize His prescriptions for well being and Godly living. And today, the ODB entry helps us to focus on one of them from Prov. 17:22 … that laughter, especially with family or friends [see photo], actually provides life-giving medicine.
But there are others which come to mind. How about these? …
… For PURE LIVING … see Psalm 119:9-11 … What good Christian doesn’t want to avoid sin in our lives?
… For PURPOSE … See Proverbs 3:5-6 … Who couldn’t use a more effective “GPS” for life?
… For PEACE … See Isaiah 26:3 … In this stress-ridden world, who couldn’t use more peace?
And that’s why you’ll find me back here tomorrow, delving more deeply into God’s perfect prescription pad, … for His remedies for life.
=============
My THANKFULNESS: … Oh Abba Father, … thank You, Lord, … for Your prescription pad for life, … found in Your word.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, … King Jesus, … I pray, Lord, that all reading here can, and will, join me, to seek out God’s prescriptions for Godly living. … Amen
