"Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad" (Prov. 12:25).
So many in our world today are weighed down with anxiety and depression. And one of God's remedies and means to helping those who are weighed down is the power of a good word.
The other day I was asked if I ever feel down. In the ministry there are highs and there are lows. I love being a Pastor. I love preaching and strengthening others by the good word of God. But sometimes we preachers are the ones in need of a good word from a caring Christian. The point is that none of us are exempt from getting weighed down by life. And not only do we need to be very aware of this but we need to be looking out and reaching out to those who are.
Anxiety, which can lead to depression is a very serious matter. There are folks that you may know right now that don't want to even get out of bed because they feel so burdened down. And the power of a good word spoken by you might just be what they need.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
