Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart
is good medicine,
But a broken spirit
dries up the bones.
Peterson’s “The Message” uses the phrase “… leaves you bone-tired.” I like that image.
This verse creates a great word image.
It also presents an important choice.
We can focus on the Joy that following God’s guidance brings.
Or we can focus on the broken mess that if often strewn around us.
I’m striving to choose to focus on things above.
