Joy is coming

Have you ever been angry? I mean, really angry? I have been angry, really angry, a few times but I don't usually stay angry. I know people that are angry at everyone and everything and they don't even know why; they are just angry.

Being angry doesn't really accomplish much of anything positive on a regular basis. Oh, it'll accomplish ulcers and wrinkles and possible hypertension and heart attacks but I don't see any of that as a real positive. As I said, we all get angry. But, it is what we do with the anger and how long we hold that anger that really matters.

Today's word holds two reminders for us. Psalm 30:5, NKJV reads, "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life: Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning."

I probably make a lot of people angry, probably on a daily basis, yet, even when GOD gets angry with me, His child, He doesn't stay angry. He loves me and, while I disappoint Him from time to time and make Him angry from time to time, He doesn't stay angry because He loves me. Just as we love our children, GOD loves us even more perfectly.

And, as I mentioned earlier this week, there has been a lot of death in our lives the last few months. We hurt for and pray for all these that have seen their loved ones go to eternity. We can also rest assured that GOD is still with us, He still cares, He still holds us. And, while it may never get better, He will help us get through it. We will have our nights of weeping but He will bring joy in the morning. Hold to Him; hang in there; let go of anger; joy is coming.

Be Blessed,
