"...And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."
-Genesis 1:3 NIV
"Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning."
- Psalm 30:5b
Did you know that nighttime actually preceeds the day?
I was at a gathering recently where a group of friends came together to celebrate the life of a friend, husband, brother in Messiah who had passed into eternity unexpectedly, and in the unanimous mindsets of us all way too soon. During the course of the evening we cried, hugged, laughed, prayed, comforted one another and listened to some of the music of this gifted young man. As I sat and listened to the lyrics of one of his songs, When The Morning Comes, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me: "Weeping may come for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
Night is synonymous with darkness, weeping and mourning; but then morning comes... and there is nothing that the darkness can do to hold back the brilliant rays of a glorious sunrise. The song was truly a prophetic word, a love note from Abba Father reminding me-as I now remind you- that morning is coming, with it the joy of the Lord, the true source of our inner strength.
Beloved, no matter what you may be going through take heart and wait on the Lord...be assured that morning is coming!
