Joy In the Morning

Have you ever felt like you were alone in this huge world? Like everyone and everything around you was against you all at once and you weren’t really sure what to do. You’d reached your breaking point and the only thing that you could do was cry. You cried out to God, but for some reason you couldn’t hear him clearly. You just needed a sign; a sign of what he wanted you to do at that very moment. You needed his peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Well I’m here to remind you ladies that Joy comes in the morning! Today is a new day and you have to let the past be the past. Do not let the enemy ruin day after day for you because you have the Lord on your side. Even if you can’t feel his presence, he is in the midst. I’ve been there, right in that very moment and I felt like I couldn’t hear God at all and it terrified me.

 I read this passage and it made me cry because it was so comforting: Psalm 30:4-8 “Sing to the Lord you his faithful ones; and praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor a lifetime. Weeping may spend the night, but there is JOY IN THE MORNING. When I was secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” Lord, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain, when you hid your face I was terrified.”

How many of you have said that since you’ve started your walk with God, that you wouldn’t be shaken? I know I have and believe me I’ve been shaken alright. I’ve read that scripture before and it’s even highlighted in my bible, but the way it affected me the first time I read it was different than the way it has affected me this morning. I said that to say this, God’s word may be the same in the bible, but the way we can apply it to our lives isn’t. One small scripture can change someone’s entire perspective and cause so much change in their life, that’s why it’s so important to stay in his word. His word is our strength and a reminder of his love, grace and patience with us. I know I need a refresher on that every day to remind me who I am. I am a child of God, therefore I am beautiful and I am loved. I hope you all know that! J
