Joy Comes When?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know joy comes in the morning. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever faced a difficult situation that led to tears? Yet, after a good night’s sleep, life somehow seemed better. A new day can provide a different perspective. Psalm 30:4-5 concludes with an often quoted phrase that characterizes the hope of believers:
“Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.”
Psalm 30:11-12 go reinforce this feeling:
“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!”
Whatever the circumstances, know God can provide a way when there seems to be no way. Look expectantly for the joy that comes in the morning. Thank God.
