Today as I was driving in to work. I began to listen to a Gospel Radio Station. The first song that came on was. Trouble Don’t Last Always. I had a pretty rough night last night and it felt that, one thing after another was going wrong. When the pressures of life seem overwhelming and almost unbearable. We can find rest and peace in knowing that troubles don’t last always, and that weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the Morning Time!

Don’t be discouraged with the trouble of life for they are just temporary and before you know it your situation will turn around for the better.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psalms 30:5)
