Mourning Into Joy
“For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. LORD, by thy favour thou
hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD; and
unto the LORD I made supplication. What profit is
there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise
thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD,
be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness”
(Psalms 30:5-11)
Today’s Morsel: One of the
things about warfare is that it is nasty business. People get hurt,
wounded, sick, and even killed. They fear, they cry, they laugh, they weep, and
they sometimes go AWOL (absent without leave). As soldiers of the Lord,
you must be able to pick yourself up. You must not hang your harps on the
willow, mourn, and quit. You can, but it will not stop the enemy from
attacking you. As a matter of fact, if the enemy knows that you are
despondent and without hope, that you are with low self-esteem, he is going to
attack you even more. That is why you must pick yourself up. David
said that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, And he
has turned my mourning into dancing. When the SUN comes up in the
morning, that is a sign for you to get up. A good mad minute of prayer
and praise can change the way you feel about things and turn your mourning into
dancing and your sorrows into joy. Give it a try this morning!
Sing: You have turned my mourning into
dancing. You have turned my sorrow into joy. This is how we
overcome. This is how we overcome. You have turned my mourning into
dancing. You have turned my sorrow into joy.
Thought For Today: When is the last
time you’ve danced before the Lord?
