Smile awhile!!!
Habbakuk 3:18
Yet I will rejoice in you my Lord
I will joy in the God of my salvation

“Smile awhile” means learn to rejoice even in uncertain times or times of trouble

In Habakkuk 3:17, the Prophet paints a very gloomy picture of his circumstances , yet he says in the next.verse that he will rejoice because he believed the Lord will make a way.

Proverbs 17:22 says

A merry heart does good like medicine. But a broken spirit,dries up the bones

Meaning , smiling or rejoicing heals the body and prevents destruction

Philippians 4:4-5
Rejoice in the Lord, again I say rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance

This passage from the new testament reaffirms the fact that a merry heart does good. When Paul and Silas sang praises in prison, God moved on their behalf ( Acts 16:16-40)

Accept the gift of salvation today ( Romans 10;9-10) and receive grace to rejoice even in the midst of trouble

God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?

1. Pray for grace and strength to obey God’s commands always.

Song for meditation

Let this song
be your confession and prayer

Smile awhile and give your face a change
Raise your hands to the one you love the best
Shake your hands with those around
And greet them all with a smile

Abridged version in french

Serrez la main de ceux qui Vous entourent
Et saluez- les tous avec un sourire

Amen
