A Season and a Time V
Laura McCue Knowles
Read:
- Ecclesiastes 3:4 “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
- Psalm 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
- Psalm 30:11-12 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing, You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.”
Reflect:
1. When was a time in your life you have been really sad (mourning)?
2. Were you ever happy again and why?
3. Who do you give the glory to in your life, with your life?
Remember:
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). Why must we endure weeping, pain, grief, trouble? Without the night, we could never see the morning sun. Without the sunlight in our lives we could never see and know the hope we have for tomorrow.
Our Savior and King, Jesus Christ, also endured mourning through His life and in His death. Through that darkness He rose to shine a light that all could see and believe. He is our hope and promise and our reason to dance and sing. To Him be all the glory, honor, and praise for who He is and what He has done! (Psalm 30:11-12)
