Welcome to today’s devotional with a smile experiment: Please frown your face and turn the sides of your mouth down. Imagine it’s your birthday and your friends or spouse forgot. Frown more! Hold it! How do you feel? Okay, now smile. Let the corners of your lips slide heaven wards (upwards). Imagine that the birthday card has just arrived. The surprise party is for you. Bigger smile! Hold it. How do you feel? Better? Here’s why: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine (vs. 22 of today’s scripture). Research has shown that when a person smiles, there is a reduction in cortisol, a chemical that provokes stress in the body and an increase in mind-elevating endorphins (hormones). On the social level, an honest smile cancels hostility and draws people near to you. It takes more muscles to frown than smile in the human body! Laughter has a protective effect on the immune system by increasing anti-body producing cells and activating virus fighting cells. The act of smiling engages at least three major muscle groups, increasing blood to the face and thus helping to create a glossy glow. Yet, despite all these benefits, a smile is free. I heard recently that the great philosopher, Akin Vatts, used to make himself to laugh every morning for 10 minutes as soon as he got up. I tried my own version for about 3 minutes of that exercise. The result? My wife probably thought I just had a pleasant dream! But I felt wonderful all day. Never forget: “…with a long life I will satisfy him.” Cooperate with Jehovah God for a long life. Stop frowning this year! Daily Manna ODM 8th June 2025
