Why Worry YOU CAN Be Happy (PROVERBS 17:22)
ILLUS:
Alarm clock didn’t go off
A case of the depressed blues is headed your way
You’re late for work, have a flat tire, try to take wife’s car it wont start she left the lights on, Get the jumper cables jump it off, in a hurry, Blue light special speeding ticket, Boss chews you out, wife calls she’s mad that she can’t keep her hair appointment.
It’s hard to be full of joy when everything is wrecking, But if you keep your JOY everything will work out
TEXT: PROVERBS 17:22
22 A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
A lot of people just cannot seem to shake the blues. Depression sets in on their lives and nothing seems to be able to pull them out. Every time you see them they have something that has gone wrong in their lives.
