Pr 12:25* Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.
The word "Anxiety, comes from a word meaning fear, to be anxious, be concerned, be afraid, and it can mean, "to dread"
When we have anxiety in our hearts, it causes depression, it causes us to be bowed down as it were, to fall down within ourselves.
"But a good word makes it glad" That's what can come to us, and that's what can happen to the heart that is depressed.
And, of course we know of no better "word" then the "Word of God Himself" And, the blessed "Word of God" that He has given to us in the Holy Bible.
When we read the Bible we will hear many "good words" from God. Taken to heart, they become the evictor of depression, and the bringer of gladness within.
The Bible encourages us to keep our minds on the Lord, and on the beautiful and glorious truths of God. These are the "Good Words" that will bring that happiness into our souls.
May you have many "Good Words" brought into your soul today.
