Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning
(Psalm 30:5, NLT).
There can be many sources of grief. There may have been a death, or maybe it was the loss of something else: a job, a dream, a friendship. Grief seems to come without warning or invitation. It takes over our homes and lives in almost every facet.
It is critical during this season that we let the Lord lead us. He asks nothing more than for us to lie in his strong arms. As we lay there, he will faithfully whisper words of comfort. When we're in this state of grief, he calls us blessed. That's right. Read Matthew 5:4. He calls us blessed because he knows he is going to pour a measure of comfort over us that we wouldn't receive otherwise. That comfort will sustain us when it seems nothing else will.
Has grief entered your home? Let God be your comfort. His comfort is tailor-made to your pain and your hurt. Let him hold you and bless you. Place your hope in his promise that joy will come in the morning.
