Wednesday is for One Year

Proverbs 18:14

A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

Since I went so far forward last week, I am going to go back this week to July 5th’s reading. There really is something to a positive attitude. It can help us in times of sickness. Hope and will power do help us medically. There was even a study done on people who live long and it showed that Christians live 3 years longer on average than non-christians because of their hope and faith. There is truth that if we trust and obey God things will go well with us. Regardless, whether a believer or non-believer one cannot deny that a posititve attitude is a helpful thing. But a depressed and discouraged or beaten down spirit who can endure? Proverbs has a lot of good reminders and simple truths. You will find multiple proverbs about treating others with kindness and speaking kindly to others. What a sad thing if a saint where to blame for another man’s crushed spirit. We are to be one’s that bring the good news, the hope, and life. Let us listen to this simple proverb.
