Father, thank you for taking us this far, we are more than half way gone. Thank you Lord for the strength so far.
Psalm 30:5 says, “Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning.” This passage serves as a gentle reminder that despite our difficulties, joy will return to our lives someday.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 (KJV) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
While going through these two verses, I kept asking what's the meaning of verse 1 then I got the answer. Andrew W Roebert wrote, "there is a season (a period of time) for all things but there is also a time (an instant, when something happens) for all things. Seasons are well understood, but the 'TIME' aspect is more difficult to grasp and understand." When we look at more verse from Ecclesiastes 3, we will see that it is certain as humans that we pass through different stages in life, some pleasant and some not pleasant.
An assurance is found in Psalms 31: 15a that our times are in God's hands. This should remind us that God knows everything that happens to us, he knows our names, he sees each tear that fall.
He can't be questioned, He does things to please Himself and to give glory to Himself.
I Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Can we really give God thanks in every situation especially the ones that brings so much pains and tear? Indeed, we must understand that God knows all and he understands each phase of our lives. God Himself moves in mysterious ways.
In order not to offend God, GIVE HIM THANKS.
Thank you Lord for the times of weeping, times I refused to understand why I was made to weep, times I constantly asked WHY ME? Thank you Lord because you didn't strike me down when I refused to accept, I even stayed far because I asked why should bad things happen to good people. Thank you for great mornings of Joy.
