A Cheerful Heart Is Good Medicine.

DAY 2 OF 3

Follow God’s Way. 

Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ states, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” 

Follow God’s Word and you’ll have good success. Cultivate your ground with His Word and allow His Word to penetrate, navigate and pierce every area of your heart. Protect your heart with His Word. Feed your heart with His Word. 

Watch your counsel. Consider the company you keep. Psalms‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Your counsel is critical to your success. When you fill your life with good, Godly and wise counsel, you’ll have good success. Godly counsel will lead and direct your heart back to God’s Word. The Word of God will feed and water your soul. His Word will satisfy you in every season. 

Ungodly counsel will lead you down a path of bitterness.  Bitter hearts produce bitter fruit. Contaminated hearts sow contaminated seed. Those who produce bitter fruit, will feed you bitter advice. Cast your cares to God, surround yourself with wise counsel and let God lead your heart.

Let His Word guide your path. Psalms‬ ‭23:1-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ states, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” 

When God is your shepherd and overseer of your heart He will satisfy you. When you are connected to God, He will lead and guide every area of your heart. He will cause you to lie down and rest in green and peaceful pastures. His Word leads you down a path of peace and not chaos. When you follow His Word He will give you peace in chaos. He will still your storm. When you choose to fill your heart with His Word He will restore and refresh your soul. The ground of your heart flourishes when you feed yourself with His Word. Choose to nourish your heart with His Word.
