Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:15

Outlook shapes experience profoundly. The afflicted person — one gripped by inner despair — experiences every day as miserable regardless of circumstances. But the person of a merry heart finds every day a feast: joyful, full, and worth living. Inner joy transforms ordinary life.

Memory phrase: Joy makes every day a feast.

Talk about it: How can a good heart make a hard day better?

Prayer: God, let joy fill my ordinary days.
