It's The Heart That Makes The Banquet

Saturday, August 28, 2021

You probably think that if things are going bad, you're having a bad day and if things are going good, it's a good day. However, the Bible says something completely different that can change the way you live. Proverbs 15:15 says this: 'All the days of the downcast are bad, but a cheerful heart has an everlasting banquet.' In other words, the days are bad because of the downcast heart. On the other hand, 'a good heart has a never-ending banquet'. There's a never-ending banquet because the heart is good. It's not bad days that make the downcast heart. It's the downcast heart that makes the days bad. It's not the continual banquet that makes the good heart. It's the good heart that makes the continual banquet. The days don't make the heart. It's the heart that makes the days. If your heart is complaining, your days will be rotten. If your heart is full of praise and thanksgiving, your days will be full and beautiful. Want a good day? Stop seeking after a good day, and seek to have a good heart. Give thanks in all things. And your life will become an everlasting banquet.
