Monday's Moment

Psalm 30:5

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Good morning..... Marvelous Monday Morning to all of you!

Are you a morning person? I am. I love mornings because the body is refreshed after a good night's sleep (most of the time, anyway), and all things look or seem better than the day before. Whatever happened yesterday is behind us, and we have a fresh start on a new day, and it started with the morning.

Our sojourn through this life is a winding road, leading us over high mountains, then dipping down into low valleys. We cannot see what is ahead but we simply trust the wisdom and leading of the Lord in every step we take. This life as we know it will soon be over, the good and bad of all our days will be just a memory. Oh, but there is a morning coming, one like we've never seen before! I definitely want to be a morning person on that morning!!

I love this old song (written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905 then altered by B. B. McKinney in 1937), because it assures us of that wonderful morning that awaits us:

Chorus

By and by, when the morning comes

When all the saints of God are gathered home

We will tell the story how we've overcome

And we'll understand it better by and by

Verse (just one of them)

Trials dark on every hand

And we cannot understand 

All the ways that God will lead us

To that blessed promised land 

But He'll guide us with His eye

And we'll follow 'til we die

For we'll understand it better by and by

Keep your eyes on the prize that is ahead, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.... Morning's coming!!

Until tomorrow, Lord willing...........
