Daily D – Psalm 30:4-5
Psalm 30:4, 5
“Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.” (CSB)

Sometimes a good and timely reminder is in order. If you are a follower of Jesus, your story ends in glory.
Why can a canary sing songs in the night? He knows he is loved.
Why can you and I persevere through seemingly endless pain and adversity? We know the end of the story.
Once upon a time, someone attempted to write a better ending than the one Christ-followers share. It was a failure. A Christian’s death, like our savior’s, ends with resurrection, ascension, and the immediate presence of God forever.
Heat getting hotter?
Work getting harder?
Relationships getting more complicated?
You are permitted a knowing smile. You are bound for the tearless land of peace and joy, and love that endures forever.
Consider yourself reminded.

I will remind myself and others of what lies beyond all of our discomfort.

Our Father, a preacher once said that, for the Christian, this world is the only hell we will ever know. For those who do not know Jesus, this world is the only heaven they will ever know. My desire is for everyone everywhere to leave this world bound only for your presence. May hell’s habitations remain as empty as possible. Give us the perspective we need for the problems of this and all of our days. Amen.
