Proverbs 15:15
"All the days of the afflicted are evil:
but he that is of a merry heart
hath a continual feast"
I love this quote
from Proverbs: "All the days of the afflicted are evil, but the merry heart hath a continual feast." Life can be
an everlasting feast for the person with the right perspective. And just to
further emphasize the point, the Hebrew word for "oppressed" used in the
original Scripture is (ani) which means "poor." This is extremely significant; because Biblical teaching
instills in us that determining who is rich or poor has nothing to do with money.
The person who is never
satisfied with what he or she has, experiences a wretched life no matter
how much wealth that person might possess. In contrast, a person who is content
with what God has given them is cheerful and grateful, and consequently, can
experience life as one continuously amazing experience.
What a refreshing idea in a world where so much complaining abounds! In today’s world, the bar has been set so high for what one must have and achieve in order to have a good life. We think we need a certain income level, a certain standard of living, and a certain career path. However; this verse in Proverbs, teaches us that having an amazing life is really quite simple, "just rejoice in what you have and never mind what you don’t."
