Solomon tells us that “a happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing” (Proverbs 17:22, AMP ). God undoubtedly has a sense of humor; we need only look at some of the animals He created (it’s hard not to smile at the sight of a hippo, a monkey, or a puppy). Or think of some of the married couples you know: don’t you think God was smiling at the wedding as He looked ahead to the interaction of the wildly different personalities that will be living together?
From Dutch Sheets’ new book, Authority in Prayer:
Who is ruling your world? I’m not referring to the big one, as in planet earth. At least not yet. I’m talking about the world you live in every day, your personal world. I’m speaking of your home, family, job, health, dog — well, okay, maybe not your dog. God doesn’t intend that any outside force dominate you… God has given you jurisdiction over your world — under His authority, of course. He wants you — not sin, demonic powers, negative circumstances, or any other outside force — to govern it.
