Bible Miracles: Happiness- Mind and Body
Laughter promotes physical healing. Recent studies confirm that a merry heart does good, like medicine. Doctors say that happiness and laughter lessen levels of several stress hormones. This brings balance to the immune system, which helps your body fight with the disease. When you start to laugh, it doesn’t just lighten your load mentally, it truly causes physical changes in your body. Laughter improves your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs, and muscles, and boosts the endorphins that are released by your
brain. We all know that a person’s mental and spiritual health is strongly correlated with physical health.
The Bible revealed this to us almost 2900 years ago. Please read below the verses from the Book of
Proverbs. This shows that the Bible correctly told us many facts and hundreds of new discoveries verify its accuracy.
“The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat [healthy]” Proverbs 15:30
“A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones” Proverbs 14:30
“A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones” Proverbs 17:22
“Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones” Proverbs 16:24
