A Word

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5BSB

What it means

Two contrasts: God’s displeasure is brief, His favor is lifelong; weeping is a guest for a night, joy arrives with the dawn. The night is real, and it ends.

A psalm of David for the dedication of the temple. He recalls a time he was brought low, cried out, and was lifted from the pit.

Where it addresses you

  • You are in a long night and cannot imagine morning.

  • You fear God’s displeasure is permanent.

Found in Grief & Lament, Hope, Joy.
