Today's Turning Point with David Jeremiah

Who Holds the Future

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5

Jeremiah 29:11 [ http://iz3.me/GdU33zeTx1A1 ]

Psalm 30:5 is an example of Scripture explaining Scripture. The second half of the verse is often quoted during times of trouble: “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” But weeping can sometimes last for many nights—or weeks or months, even years. But the first part of the verse explains the second: The psalmist is talking about relative periods of time—a “moment” compared with a “lifetime.”

In other words, God’s favor—His love, grace, mercy, comfort, and provision—is the dominant and permanent theme in our life with Him. His love and grace are never absent contrary to appearances. Even in times of darkness we have every confidence that light will dawn again: “The LORD’s mercies . . . are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23). Even though the present may last more than one night, both the present and the future are in God’s hands. Knowing that light always follows darkness, there is nothing in the future to fear.

If you are living in a dark time today, know that the Light of the World is lighting your path. Walking toward Christ dispels all fear of the future.

We know not what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future.
