“… Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,” (Ps 30:5, NKJV).
Dr. shuler wrote a book in titled, “Tough time never last but tough people do,” it is true tough people out last their problems not because mentally or physically fit and strong or any other reasons but because they believe in God, therefore, they do not give up.
Prophet Jeremiah went through a lot of trouble and hardhack as he faced those hard circumstances instead of giving up he began confessing saying, “I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope, (Lam 3:19-21). Not only that he encourage himself in the Lord through word, “I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD," (Lam 3:24-26, NIV). There is hope for you no matter how hard seems your situation. The scripture says, “Your hope will not be cut off,” (Prov. 24: 15, NIV) Job said, “But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number,” (Job 5:8-9, NKJV).
Psalm 50:15 says, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." The Psalmist encourages God’s people, “O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption,” (Ps. 130:7, NKJV). The Lord said, “-- For they shall not be ashamed who wait on me,” Isa 49:23.
He sow them and came to deliver them
In the gospel of Mark in the sixth chapter, The Lord Jesus commanded his disciples to cross by boat to the other side of the sea, the scripture says, “Now when evening had come, the boat was out in the middle of the lake, and He was by Himself on the land. ( They were by themselves), And having seen that they were troubled and tormented in [their] rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night [between 3:00-6:00 a.m.(which was about early morning ) He came to them, walking [directly] on the sea. Mark 6:47-48, AMP). He sow them and came to deliver them. In the Book of Exodus We read the following passages, “Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. (Ex 2:23-25, NKJV) and Exodus 3:7-, “And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters and oppressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferings and trials. 8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey [a land of plenty] — to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. (Ex 3:7-9, AMP)
The Lord sow, knew the agonies of His people Israel and heard their cry, came and delivered them. In the same way the Lord sees, knows, and understands your very situation. You are not forgotten, never will you be. Isaiah 49:15-16 says, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. (See Isaiah 44:21, NKJV)
Heb 13:5-6, “… God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid,” (Cf. Joshua 1:5, NIV).
The Lord God values you much to forget you. (Matthew 6:26). You may be in the middle of life’s storm tossed to and for like the disciples where in the middle of the sea or like the children of Israel who were in Egypt. You may even be afraid that you may sink. No, you will not, the master of the storm, Jesus the Christ is coming to you, to still your storms and turn your sorrow into Joy, Moring joy.
