This is devotional thought number 25 in our devotional series titled, “Sing Unto the Lord a New Song: Meditations From the Book of Psalms.”
“...Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5).
If you are reading this devotional thought, as opposed to listening to the audio, you would have noticed an ellipsis ahead of our theme text. This means I have broken a personal rule of mine concerning Scripture - I left out something. And in this case, I left out something very important; as people often do with is verse. Before you know it, this verse is quoted by a talented preacher, he or she hoots, hollers, and convinces the entire audience, who are now worked up into a frenzy, that no matter what trial you are going through, you will come through on the other side in victory. “If you lose your job today, tomorrow, is a new day and God will deliver you! If the doctor says you have cancer, my God says you are healed. If you a sad and down in the dumps, you have a Friend who sticks closer than a brother.” The Hammond organ is building to a crescendo, people are jumping up and raising their hands in submission. There’s one problem: the text is out of context when you don’t take your time and read it all.
David is talking about something far more dire than our daily trials here. How about we read a few verses and get the context? “I cried to thee, O Lord; And unto the Lord I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;” (Psalm 30:8–11). “Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” (Psalm 30:4–5). Now, we can praise the Lord intelligently! You see, there are times it seems God is not listening because we have willfully turned our backs on Him. We have cherished some sin habit or thought process that has driven a palpable wedge between us and our God. Appropriately, He is angry at us, because we chose to ignore His love and counsel. We, in those moments, have chosen death instead of life. Now, we are all in our feelings and cannot discern God’s favor. We cry unto the Lord. We plead for His mercy. We agree with Him regarding our situation. As the night that must give way to the sunny morning, so must God’s anger give way to favor for His children. Weeping over the distance our souls have drifted from our loving Father will endure for the night, but as the night always abates, the joy of God’s favor will return to those who repent, like the sun will burst above the horizon. It’s morning time. The Sun of Righteousness shall rise in His beauty to bring the light of salvation into your life. Weeping will only endure for a night, but joy must come in the morning. Now, you can praise God intelligently.
Sing unto the Lord a new song. Celebrate the bright rays of the Sun of Righteousness who has healing in His wings.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
