"We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, "What amazing things the LORD has done for them." Psalm 126:2
How do crazy runners go through the forest? They take the psycho path. Who is the fastest runner of all time? Adam, because he came first in the human race. Well, did you laugh? Maybe even just a little? Chances are you have laughed at least once today (at least I hope you have) and, if you did, I have great news. You are actually doing something to improve your health. According to helpguide.org, laughter relaxes your body, boosts your immune system, triggers the release of endorphins and protects your heart. Those are certainly great reasons to enjoy a good chuckle then aren't they? In Psalm 126:2, the psalmist wrote, "We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, "What amazing things the LORD has done for them." The psalmist's people had been delivered from captivity and were filled with merriment and delight because of it. How could they not laugh and rejoice at such a great thing that had been done? You know, we too have been delivered... from the bondage of sin and death and so share with them the greatest reason ever to laugh and sing for joy!
So go ahead and laugh! And do it so often that people question the Source of your elation. Its then you and I can smile as we tell them about the amazing things God has done for us.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the many reasons we have to laugh and sing for joy! Not only have you delivered us but you have provided everything we could possibly need. Thank you for our home, health, friends and our freedom to worship you. You have truly done amazing things for us! For that we thank you, love you and vow to share your love with the world. It's in your precious name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
