Word:

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. (Proverbs 15:30)

Meditation Thought: So often we turn to doctors for healing and health, but positive words can be a powerful force for preventing many of the ailments that drag us down. Many of our doctor visits and pharmacy bills could be reduced or eliminated by speaking positively and listening to others who also speak positively.

Prayer: Father in Heaven, You have told us that sharing good news can bring health to our bones. Help us to be the people who bring healing by our words. May we use as much care in choosing our word as a doctor uses in prescribing a medicine or as the pharmacist uses in choosing the medicine to fill that prescription. In the name of one who was “The Great Physician,” Amen.
