Psalm 30
A Bible Devotion from Psalm 30
Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:4-5
Have you ever noticed that some Christians seem to be happy all the time. It seems as though they never grieve. The truth is, no one is happy all of the time. Part of being in a world of sin is a life filled with sin, enemies, retaliations, bitterness, gossip, and the list goes on. The difference for the true saint in Christ is an awareness amidst all of the difficulties of life, that our God will always take care of us. Even though our life may be filled with all manner of trials and burdens, we know that, Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Remember, that morning may not come until our entrance into God's heavenly kingdom; but that will truly be a morning of great joy.
The Psalmist concludes this Psalm with these words, You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11-12
Pray today that God will give you joy in the midst of life's burdens because you know that His favor is for life.
