A unique expression

Proverbs 15:15 “All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.” One never associates depression with a feast.  You and I can easily be overcome with the difficulties, chaos and often meaninglessness of daily life.  We watch the news; we see the sadness brought on by addiction, we see families struggling through divorce and then there is international chaos.  How can we possibly have a happy heart with a mentality of the joy of a festive party?  How??  Only with our Savior at the center of our lives providing the security, comfort, peace and joy found nowhere else.  Sounds too theoretical?  Not at all!  It is absolute truth.
