Today’s
scripture: Psalm 30:5
Over the last few weeks, several of my friends have lost loved ones. A husband. A father. A child.
They’re in mourning … and rightfully so.
Others have experienced some godly discipline with consequences from poor choices or pain from the choices others have made.
They’ve wept … and rightfully so.
We all go through seasons of pain, of suffering, of sadness. We all experience times of godly discipline.
But we’re promised that these seasons are temporary. We don’t live in perpetual, never-ending mourning or pain.
Joy does come in the morning. It may not be today … or tomorrow … or even in the next few weeks. But each of us begins to find those splashes of joy as God offers comfort and peace.
If you’re in a night of mourning, be assured: Joy will one day come … one not-so-distant morning.
