Today’s Scripture is Psalm 30: verse 5.
“Weeping may last the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Life is full of ups and downs. We all go through times when things seem dark, when the weight of sorrow feels almost too much to bear. This verse reminds us that these moments of sorrow are temporary. No matter how tough things get, there is always hope on the horizon.
Sorrow and pain might last for a time, but God promises that joy will follow. It’s like the night and the day. Night may seem long and dark, but eventually, the sun will rise, bringing light and warmth. One writer once said, “Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.” This quote captures the hope that Psalm 30 offers us.
God’s joy is like the sunrise after a long, dark night. It’s a promise that the sadness we feel now will give way to happiness and peace. Even if the night endures all your life, God still assures us that joy will be our final reward. A million years from now we will hardly feel our old sorrow.
So, hold on to this hope. When life feels overwhelming, remember that God’s joy is coming.
