For there will be a morning as sure as now is night

Psalm 30: 2-5
 2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help
and you healed me.
3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave 
you spared me from going down into the pit.
4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30 is a song of joy composed by David after being delivered from sickness and death. This is a beautiful example of someone who is grateful, as he has come to understand life is a gift that comes wrapped in opportunities.

I'm not just talking about illness, I am talking about valleys, low points in life, situations that threaten to derail our objectives. In all this, if we allow Him, God will show His guidance and mercy and we will also be able to say. Thank you Lord because you didn't allow this evils ti befall me!

David also mentions that sadness might last through the night, but will be gone with the first lining of the golden sun in the morning. No doubt about it some of our "nights" are longer that others, specially for some of us who suffer from autoimmune diseases. If you want to take a "night" literally, think about turning and tossing in pain without sleep and in the vouches of depression that usually we find ourselves stumbling into...Yeah there are certain "nights" that lead to loneliness,regression into ourselves and loss of faith. But through it all we must NEVER forget that pain too, shall pass and that we need to rely on God and one and other and if we seek Him and hold on to Him, God will shower his mercy upon us all. This reminds me the beautiful lyrics of Laura Story's song:

" 'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise"

Give yourself an opportunity to wake - no matter how long the night- into the morning sun.
Think of what that morning will bring you, new starts, new opportunities, a new lease on life. Be grateful in all, for all the things that God has done.



But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect  day. Proverbs 4:18
