“For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)
In our darkest moments, we look at the wreckage of our struggles, the fragility of our bodies, and the constant barrage of news of natural disasters and human suffering and think to ourselves, “Is this my life?”
We can wallow in the seemingly endless journey ahead of struggles and heartaches consumed by the fear that it will never end, but that is a lie.
In the LORD, suffering is temporary, and joy is eternal.
The tears will dry up, and the morning will appear. Struggle on faithful soldier; the dawn will break soon.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
