Morning Joy

5 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 30:5 (NKJV)


We all feel the heat, the pain and the season of endurance. Seasons that seem forever, seasons that seem like we are forsaken and abandoned. Yet we are not alone, because our Creator's hand is all over us. We only need to look up and see the end game scenario.

Never despise the lonely and abandoned seasons, keep your faith in the Lord steadfastly and Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6 NKJV)
These will keep you intact until the morning joy.

You know its God

1 Now David said, “Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
7 So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.”
2 Samuel 9:1,7
(NKJV)


Mephiboseth, Jonathan's son and grandson of Saul was lame at his feet, meaning he was immobile and was restrained by way of his disability, yet his life changed within 24 hours. From Lodebar to the Palace, the mind of the King was stirred and was restless until he showed kindness to anyone that fit the divine requirement in his heart... any son or daughter of the house of Saul. Such is the case when Heaven nudges someone out there to be a blessing to you and I, not because of what we did , but because someone came before us and paid our price that we may find favor and mercy in the sight of God.

May His goodness and mercy continue to follow us in all the days of our lives so we may act, dwell and flourish in His presence here on earth and up till eternity forever more, Amen.
