Humor Is Needed Armor \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1840 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today\u2019s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.
Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from Hugh Sidey, and it is: A sense of humor is needed armor. Joy in one\u2019s heart and some laughter on one\u2019s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
Humor Is Needed Armor
A good sense of humor is one of the essential elements of life to live healthy and emotionally balanced. In addition, humor acts as armor to protect us from all of the hostile forces that bombard us daily. As citizens of God\u2019s kingdom, we need to oppose those negative forces with an abundant supply of joy, coupled with many doses of laughter throughout the day. Joy comes from the inner peace we have, knowing that God controls every situation no matter what happens in our lives. So supplement your joy with humor, which can be reading or listening to funny stories, watching humorous programs, or laughing at yourself when you do or say something silly, as we all do. Laughter has many health benefits to your body, soul, and mind. Never take life too seriously, instead, live a rich and satisfying life as God would desire for us. After all, we are a child of the king, and we should celebrate and enjoy every day of life. So look for humor throughout each day.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2017%3A22andversion=NLT (Proverbs 17:22)
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person\u2019s strength.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+126%3A2-3andversion=NLT (Psalm 126:2-3)
We were filled with laughter,
and we sang for joy.
And the other nations said,
\u201cWhat amazing things the Lord has done for them.\u201d
Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
What joy!
