Psalm 30:5 – “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Christian, if you are in a night of trial, think of tomorrow; cheer up your heart with the thought of the finished work of our Lord and His coming. The farmer waits until He reaps His harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with Me, to repay everyone for what he has done.” If you are presently in wretched circumstances, remember:
A few more days of marching into battle, Then you will receive the crown. Your head may be bowed with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a starry crown before long. Your heart may be filled with care, it shall be filled with the praise of heaven soon. Your clothes may be soiled with dust now; soon they shall be gloriously white. Wait a little longer. How trivial our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them!
Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but knowing His great work of redemption we shall view everything from a new perspective. Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Do you know what it is then to live on the future; to live on expectation; to anticipate heaven? Rejoice, believer, to have such a sure and comforting hope. What does it matter if “weeping may tarry for the night” when “joy comes with the morning”?
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
