“5For 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.” – Psalms 30:5 (ESV)
There are better things to do than wallow in our self-pity. The verse above tells us that those low points are just that points. They only last for a moment and then are gone. It is us that keep them going and brood on them. I tend to do that myself and it is not healthy. Those are just short pieces of time and as you can see in the 2nd half of verse 5, when the morning comes it should be over and overtaken with joy.
But how?
It is up to us to lean on our Lord and Savior. Those low points, those filled with sorrow and anger are just for a moment. The love and care provided by God last for a lifetime. We are to lean on that love and care. God only wants what is best for us. He allows the low points to refine us into something greater.
I have to learn to allow for the sorrow and anger, and then embrace the joy provided by God. Work through the valleys of low points and hold fast to the lifetime of favor from God.
What about you, are you living the low points? Have you looked to realize that those low points are just moments in time and pass quickly? What are you doing to work through those moments of sorrow and anger and hold fast to the lifetime of favor from God?
