Joy comes in the morning

For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. - Psalm 30v5

'Hold on my child, joy comes in the morning,
Weeping only lasts for the night
Hold on my child, joy comes in the morning,
The darkest hour means dawn is just in sight'

I like this old gospel song. Though sometimes we do weep in the day and sometimes the 'darkest hour' means that it is only going to stay dark for a while, I like the sentiment expressed.

The song is based on this passage, which is Bible truth. It is a picture of the general truth that no matter how bad it gets, better days are coming.

It does seem sometimes that the bad news just keep on coming. I wish I could say that things are going to get better while we are still here, but we are never promised that. We are promised God presence and protection in the darkness. We are promised His light to guide and direct us. We are promised His love and companionship. We are not however promised earthly deliverance from troubles.

But, as the song says, there is a better day coming. There is a day coming when we will be able to wake up with Him in our eternal home.

Hold on. The day is coming. Our weeping will one day be replaced with His joy.

Hold on.
