Psalm 30King James Version
30 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
This is for you this morning.
Weeping may endure for a night (I see this night symbolic of the dark seasons, the times where things are so in the shadow you can’t see them clearly. This season is dark, may be lonely and may be quiet. But the word says it lasts for the night only. Joy cometh in the morning – joy comes with the light and after every dark season a a light comes, after every period of darkness (such as the night) the sun (the light) comes back around. You can always count on it because God controls the earth and what is in it. Night will always lead back to the day, so be encouraged this morning and use this example in the midst of your “night”, day always comes back around my loves.
Prayer: Father help us in the darkest moments, we lay our agony, discomfort and lonely hearts at your feet. You see us for who we are and we want to see and believe you for who you are as well Your precious word says weeping may endure for a night MY GOD, but JOY cometh in the morning. The morning WILL ALWAYS COME in your name according to your will, so may our mornings come and may be we experience the deep rooted joy of the Lord and the healing that it brings
As astestiminy I can proudly testify that when my father died my night seemed like morning would never come, everything was lonely, dark and miserable but can I tell you that the word is so true? Yes the memory is still there but my love, the seasons change I can now say I am experiencing a joy that only God could’ve brought to me. My life’s circumstances are changing, I am blessed by the Lord and I take no credit whatsoever. This is the season of blessing and I only share his to encourage. – MORNING COMES.
