Joy cometh in the morning.

I sometimes write this blog with a specific person in mind; sometimes it's me. Sometimes I feel so much inspiration; it feels like that adrenaline or Holy Ghost rush (I should sound more spiritual, right?) you get right before you are to share what the Lord had given you to speak in a church..... I again am amazed. God certainly knows where we are and knows what we are going through. If the people that are supposed to speak into your life are not able to due to distractions, spiritual injury or lukewarmness, God will send someone else. He will. Just hold on and follow hard after the things of God. Direction and peace will come. As kids we rode this ride at Como Park in St. Paul that was so scary then AND still is NOW! It was round and the carnies strapped us into it standing up. After we began to spin and spin, they removed the flooring of the ride and we were held in place by the force of the spinning, (centrifigal force). That is how some of our trials feel. Life is spinning out of control it seems and then on top of everything the bottom drops out of our lives! It's awful, it's a time for panic..but then you realize you are being held up by a power greater than yourself. God is holding you. He will continue to hold you until you are back on the ground, and then he will still hold your hand, always. Get your strength from the Word...don't just read about the Bible; READ THE BIBLE. Talk to God, let the tears flow. He is aquainted with grief, he understands our sorrow and our joy. Psalm 30:5.....weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Jesus understand weeping but he understands JOY TOO! Be of good courage, my friend, you are not alone.
