Ps 30:5 weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Being a Christian does not mean a life without sorrow or troubles. There are many things that cause us to weep. It does not mean that expression of sorrow is a sign of weakness. The man or woman of strong faith will experience sorrow. Each of us will have a night time experience. But how can we make sure joy comes in the morning?

Oh rejoice in the Lord, He makes no mistakes. He knoweth the "steps" of each path that i take. So when i am tried and purified I shall come forth as gold... God never moves without purpose or plan....

If you believe Ps 30:5 then you believe in the Bible. If you believe in the BIble, then you believe in God.If you believe in God...then you believe he will take care of you and keep you. If you believe he will take care of you and keep you, you will believe he will give you joy in the morning. What most don't bother to accept is that the joy in the morning may or may not be "literally" in the morning as we know morning. IT is GOd's time, not ours. He will do what he wants to do for you in his time not ours. Why? Faith and trust. Many times he tests our faith and trust to make use strong and more faithful and trustful in him. I am going through some things for the last year and I have crashed and burned so many times and thought God doesn't even love me anymore, how could he let this happen if he did? But God always sends me something "in the morning" that makes me hopeful, realize I have to trust him and be more faithful to him. Might be a few of my "days" later and not the very next "morning", but I finally figure it out. I have a problem where I care to much, love to strong and hold on to tight and God is teaching me that I can't live like that.I have to let go of things and trust he will take care of me. I have to have faith that he will take care of me and the situation. I have to let go and let him work in my life. And I am slowly but surely getting it right..finally!
