“For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.” ~ Psalm 30:5
If God loves you, He will discipline you; but it’s only for a short time because He loves you. Therefore, His favor lasts a lifetime. His favor will open doors that were once closed; it brings that promotion that was out of reach. It protects that wayward child and restores that broken relationship. His love is the reason why weeping will only last a night, but when the sun comes up, it brings joy, new hope, renewed mercies, and fresh blessings. Be blessed today, be joyful today, be hopeful today and be optimistic today; God loves you and cares for you.
Father, we, Your children, come and humble ourselves before You. We thank You for Your love, but as we are only human, LORD, we ask that You help our faith, our understanding, and our patience. For LORD, we do not understand all that You do, but we know that all that You do is for our best interest. Help us, today, LORD, to understand only a loving parent disciplines their child.
In the precious and Holy Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
