Psalm 30 Verses 4 – 5
4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning
Nothing lasts forever. Not bad things…not good things. Change is ever with us. Even when we are overcome with grief we can rest in God’s promise that joy will return. It may not be the same feeling as before. It may may be different.. Sometimes more profound. After all how do we know the full impact of joy if we have never experienced sorrow.

Prayer: Lead us gently through our sorrow, loving God, so that we may know the joy you have in store for us. AMEN
