You Will Reap the Songs of Joy
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.—James 1:2-3 (NIV)
Whatever trial you are going through, know there is something to be gained. Times when you can’t see your way out of a problem are actually the best times to trust and believe. Know that there is nothing too hard, painful or devastating that Jesus does not identify with. When you bring your suffering to Him in prayer, He feels your pain as you feel His comfort.
Lord Jesus, on days when I feel tested, I can go on because You are with me.
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:12 (KJV)
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message.”—John 17:20 (NIV)
