The Bible however says that we don’t only have hope when we cry, but we can have an expectation of joy!
Ps. 126:5-6(NIV)
5 Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
I saw a picture…
Someone with a bag of seed that was desponded and sad, crying as he walked through a drought filled field. This person threw seed into the ground, with the hope that it might rain. But as his tears fell to the ground, it filled the ground with living water… wetting the ground to yield a harvest.
Do you feel desponded and sad, trying to make a difference in the world, but it seems that you are not making a difference? Maybe your life feels drought-stricken and in desperate in need of rain. Maybe you’ve lost someone that was dear to you. All of these situations sometimes bring tears to your eyes.
God can however turn these tears into living water, changing the dry ground in an oasis of supply and healing. Know that if you trust Him, He will, in His time turn the situation around.
You might be crying now – but you will return to the same situation with songs of joy!
Shalom!
