Blue Skies Coming

Yesterday on my drive home from work, the weather was fairly clear - just a few flurries in the air. However, one portion of my drive had me going through a near white-out. Those who have driven in a white-out know how scary they can be. It seemed to last forever, but in actuality only lasted five minutes. Very soon, I was driving under patches of blue sky.

The experience made me stop to think.  Sometimes my life has white-outs, periods of time when I can’t see light, the way ahead or behind, where I’m going. These times are just as scary. But, just as God was guiding me yesterday, He is guiding me through the other white-outs in my life. And, joy is coming! Even if these periods last the remainder of my earthly life, it will still be a very short time in light of eternity.

Psalm 30:5b states that, “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

Revelation 21:3-4, ” 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Stand fast in the faith, my friends! Joy is coming!
