Psalm chapter 30 verse 5 for his anger is but for a moment and his favor is for a lifetime

lifetime weeping may Terry for the night but joy comes with the morning.

Oh those last couple of phrases in Psalm 30 verse 5, weeping may Terry for the night.

I think weeping is a reality in a fallen, sinful, sorrowful world.

There is sadness in this world.

Things are not all as they should be.

There is mourning in this world I think about. People I know who've lost

precious loved ones over recent days. I think about others I know who have been a hurt in significant ways by

relationships and things that have been done to them.

And there is such grief and hurt and sorrow and sadness.

And in some cases I think,

when is this going to end? And I'm guessing some of you are asking the same question in your own life, like when is this going to stop?

I was talking with one person the other day, it was just one thing after another, after another, after another, and it was like, oh, when it another and it was like oh when it rains it

pours like when is this going to stop it's a long dark night

that's where psalm 30 verse 5 says weeping may Terry for the night but joy comes with the morning in other words when the nights are long and the sorrow is

unrelenting and you wonder if it's ever going to end. Psalm 30 verse 5 makes clear, it is going to end.

Sorrow will not have the last word in your life.

Sickness and disease will not have the last word in your life.

You know how we know that? Because Jesus always has the last word.

Which means life has the last word, which means life has the last word, which means salvation has the last

word, which means hope has the last word.
