Joy in the Morning

Psalm 30:5 says, "For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning."

In light of our sins we deserve death, misery and hell. We warrant extreme wrath. No mercy. But God intervenes and instead of wrath His chosen ones get magnificent blessing. We may grieve our waywardness but God celebrates Christ's victory over sin. We weep, but now for joy over the gracious gift of salvation God gives.
