“Lighten Up And Live”
Proverbs 17:22 NLT
A glad heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
I chose the title of this devotional from a phrase that Christian comedian and motivational speaker, Ken Davis uses in his radio ministry. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we need to be reminded that life is too short to take too seriously. I’ve often heard the phrase, “Don’t take yourself so seriously”. I admit I am WAY bad about this! I tend to find myself taking things way too seriously and not laughing more as I should.
I get so down on myself when I do dumb things instead of just laughing and moving on. My wife and my girls are great reminders to me that I need to lighten up and live and enjoy more of life! My wife especially reminds me of this and she is soooooooooo patient with me!
This devotional is nothing terribly deep, but a great reminder that we need to remember to laugh more often. I find when I laugh more, I feel so much better and I enjoy life more. I find that I’m less agitated and people want to be around me more. It makes sense, doesn’t it?
I really appreciate how Ken Davis reminds us to lighten up and live. We have to find more joy in everyday life in just being more lighthearted. I am totally preaching this to myself as well as to you. I have been so bad about this for so many years of my life. I tend to be a serious person naturally. Sometimes that can be good, but often times it takes me away from enjoying the wonderful every day things that God does around me.
God DOES have a sense of humor and He loves when we just laugh and enjoy life. He especially loves this when unexpected things happen to us and we make the most of it and find some way to laugh and move on. It’s so easy too often to get angry and focus on the negative. I have always appreciated people who are so laid back and find a way to smile through everything almost. I want to be like that!
Friends, some of us are naturally more light-hearted than others. The rest of us tend to take life a little too seriously more than we should. We need to learn to laugh more and lighten up and live!
Ken Davis, if you ever somehow come across this devotional, THANK YOU for your constant reminders of how we should lighten up and live!
