Morning by Morning, August 11 - The Power of a Smile Good morning, Lord Jesus. I wait for the leading of Your Spirit -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ... “A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, but when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken” (Proverbs 15:13 NASB). As phrased in The Message translation, “A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.” The Truth is, “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). So Lord, fill my heart with joy and make my spirit merry. Let it show on my face and shine through my eyes today. There’s power in a smile -- not only to lift up my spirit, but to lift up the spirits of others. There’s an anointing of joy that comes from Your Spirit flowing through our spirits that breaks off sadness, that lifts up weariness, that releases the hope of a better perspective. And it’s sealed in the heart of every child of God whose given their heart to You, because it’s part of the package of Divine Favor that comes with the Kingdom of God taking dominion in our lives: “For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!” (Romans 14:17). “The Kingdom of God is within (us)” (Luke 17:21). So let Your Kingdom come in my heart today. Let Your Kingdom be expressed with joy today. Let Your Kingdom conquer sadness, break off weariness, and release hope through the joy in my spirit and the power of the smile on my face. “The Lord bless (us) and keep (us); the Lord make His face shine on (us) and be gracious to (us); the Lord turn His face toward (us) and give (us) peace” (Numbers 6:24-26). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
