A Joy In Knowing

God’s anger lasts only a brief moment, and His good favor restores one’s life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.  Psalms 30:5 NET

We are all walking through something...

Good times.  

Bad times.  

Times filled with lament.  

Times filled with laughter.  

Times of accomplishment.  

Times of failure.  

Times when things are easy.  

And times when things are just downright hard.  

It’s simply the flow of life.

I’m so thankful we have a promise of peace that frees us from difficult times! Things may get worse before they get better, but we know, at some point we can confidently rejoice because things will get better eventually. If not now, in eternity! While in the midst of the storm, we may cry, complain, blame, or be in the depths of despair, but the beautiful thing about it is that Jesus is always near — and He proves His peace that surpasses understanding every single time!

Don’t forget this today: In our worst moments we can still have hope, peace, and even joy! Pain is only temporary but God’s love and peace is eternal. If you are in a tough season, this too shall pass.  

Ecclesiastes 3:1 NET For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

My prayer is that you trust Him, knowing that He has your best interest in mind, and that you continue to rely on Him for guidance and peace. Remember that His timing is perfect, even during the worst of moments, to find with His steadfast grace, a joy knowing that Jesus died and rose again so that we could live a life of peace, love, and reconciliation with God no matter what comes our way.
