"Weeping For a Season"

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."  Psalms 30:5

When we think of a night, we think of a literal space of time- from the time after the sun has gone down until it rises again.  There are nights that are spent in weeping, but when the next day comes the weeping seems to cease.  This is what I usually think of when I read this verse.  But there are also "night seasons"- times in our lives when everything is dark, when it doesn't look like there is any light at the end of the tunnel, when your world is turned into confusion, only shadows shroud your day, your weeping feels endless, and tears have become your meat. 

This scripture is talking about these times as well as a literal night.  You may be in a "night season", but take comfort...the morning cometh, and with it comes joy.  You will not always be going through this time, it will not always be nighttime in your life, you will see the light of day again, you will feel the warmth of the sun upon your face once more, the darkness will flee, you will see the dawn of a new day, and you'll walk with gladness and joy of heart again.

Have a great day.  This season will not last forever; there is a time of joy on the horizon.
