When The Joy Comes

The sun through the trees in the morning is a remarkable thing! As I write this the leaves have fallen and there is more light making its way into my back yard. It is a beautiful and joyous time of year. Reflecting upon this I was thinking of the challenges life can bring. Praying, this scripture about joy came to me.

Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

It appears David is the writer of this psalm. He is telling people that God lifts us up. We will go through the time of weeping and trouble, but joy comes in the morning. He goes on to talk about how he prospered and thought that he would not be moved in that prosperity. God then let him experience life on his own for a while. David turned back to God and called to Him. Today, if you are in the dark of night or have been for a while, know that God will deliver you from it. Call unto Him and sing His praises as David did. David wants the turning of events that is coming to be a praise to God so that people will know that it is God that did it. I love how this turns out for David, and I know God will do the same for us.

Psalms 30:10 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.

Prayer
Father, we praise and thank You that You are our Deliverer. Thank You for always coming to our aid when we cry out to You. I cry out to You today for me and my family, my friends, and for all Your children. Please come speedily with Your deliverance. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
