A writing by Shirley Choat:

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5

  Too often we allow the future to be colored by our present circumstances. We have a tendency to become so absorbed with our current difficulties that we forget God's faithfulness in the past. And in so doing, a future bright with divine promises becomes obscured by doubt and despair. We see only the shadows and forget that behind the clouds the sun is shining in all its glory.
 
  Sometimes only deep valleys seem to lie ahead in our lives. The gray skies of grief overshadow our days, and our nights are filled with the darkness of trial. But what appears as utter defeat could well be God's process of preparing us for a glorious triumph. So let's trust Him, for "joy cometh in the morning."  When the clouds are lifted, we'll see that victory signals have been there all the time.
 
   
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - The darker the night, the nearer the dawn.
