It’s a bit cool, drizzly and gloomy this morning, following quite a stretch of fine, sunny weather. That’s just like life, isn’t it?
We have stretches of good days, when work goes well, the bills get paid on time and peace reigns in the family, but then things change and we find ourselves stuck in the circumstances of life, sometimes not knowing when or how we will once again see good times.
These setbacks are only temporary in a world where God is in control and where He always wants the best for you. Yes, we will encounter difficulty, but God rules. Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke for God when he described hard times, then declared the good times that would follow: “Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.” (31:13)
Take heart, then. Get ready to dance because before you know it, the gloom of this morning will dissipate and be replaced by the sunshine and warmth of God’s love. You can count on it and when it happens you will be blessed by it. Pastor Jim.
