Laughter

Listen to the Audio

Here is today's communion meditation. 

Laughter is a great form of medicine. In my book Cracking Heaven's Code: God's System for Restoring Abundant Health I tell the story of Norman Cousins who was healed from a fatal illness by watching funny movies. He says that laughter is like a form of internal jogging that cleans out our cells. In Cracking Heaven's Code one of the main ideas is that lies we believe in our hearts are kind of like viruses that need to be cleaned out, and when God fills us with laughter and joy, it can cleanse both our physical bodies and also lies we are believing out of our hearts. 

In today's communion we are asking God to fill us with laughter and joy from all of the amazing things he has done for us. 

Here are some Bible verses on laughter to meditate on today...

Genesis 21:6: “And Sarah declared, ‘God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.’”

Job 8:21: “He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.”

Psalm 126:2: “We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, ‘What amazing things the Lord has done for them.’”

Proverbs 15:13: “A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.”

Proverbs 15:15: “For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.”

Proverbs 17:22: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”

Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.”

Luke 6:21: “God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. God blesses you who weep now for in due time you will laugh.”

I am praying for you.
