Do You Have Your Praise Ready? Joy Comes in the Morning

Psalm 30:5 says, "For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."


Yes, it's dark now when you lift your head long enough to look at your surroundings. Have you taken the time to notice that things look just the same at 11:59 PM as they do at 12:00 AM? Joy comes in the morning! Many things instantly happen in a split second (a twinkling of an eye) during the midnight hour. An old day dies and a new day is birthed. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has arrived. The date changes from past to present.


Acts 16:25-26 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.


Scripture tells us at midnight they began praising...but we know at 11:59 PM they were figuring out which song they were going to sing once tomorrow came! Do you have your praise ready? In a few seconds midnight will be here and it will be a new day! It will still be dark outside and you may still be wearing some old chains, but Joy comes in the morning.


It is interesting enough that in Genesis, the creation account says over and over "...and the evening and the morning were the first day...and the evening and the morning were the second day...and the evening and the morning were the third day...and the evening and the morning were the fourth day...and the evening and the morning were the fifth day...and the evening and the morning were the sixth day...and on the seventh day He rested..."It never says from sun up to sun up was the day...from evening when it's dark until morning is the day!


It may be dark outside my friends, but Joy comes in the morning! He's calling us to come in and shut the door. Still Worshipping,


THATS IT RIGHT THERE!!!!
