Joy Is Contagious
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022
Daily Reading – Pro. 16-17 / 2 Co. 2-3
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Mark 9:23-24 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
You look across a room and see someone yawn. It Is not long until you find yourself yawning as well. You were not even tired, until you saw them yawn. However, the power of suggestions is contagious.
Paul says to the church in Corinth, if I make you sad then how can you uplift me? If you are sad, then you are going to make me sad. In 1 Cor. 2:3 he says, “that my joy is the joy of you all,” or, when you are happy, you make me happy.
When we criticize and hurt others with whom we fellowship, their sorrow will in turn cause our own sadness. Yet, if we encourage, and bring joy into others life, we in turn uplift ourselves. Joy is contagious.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Who might you encourage today? It may just be the joy you need tomorrow.
