Psalm 30:11
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.

When you read about someone going through a difficult time, it has a way of reminding you that you aren’t alone. And David shared in his writings that he was no stranger to facing difficult circumstances. But fortunately, the difficult seasons didn’t last forever, and God was able to bring joy even after seasons of deep sorrow.

Habakkuk 3:18
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

If you overheard someone say, ‘My closets are empty, my refrigerator has no food, and my cupboards are bare,’ but then you heard them praising the LORD, you might wonder, ‘How is that possible?’ It’s because their hope isn’t found in what they can hold in their own hands it’s found in knowing they’re safe in God’s hands.

Luke 6:21
Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

Jesus knew people would experience many difficult things like hunger, sorrow, and hardship. That’s why He reminded His followers that their present circumstances weren’t the end of the story. They had a future that would be filled with joy. And if you’re in Christ, so do you!

Psalm 126:2
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

We love watching those before-and-after shows. There’s just something beautiful about seeing something broken or worn out completely restored. And that’s what was happening with the people of God. Their difficult season was over, and restoration was on its way. Previously, they had cried, and now they would laugh! Before they had wept, and now they would sing!

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Light gives us the ability to see the world around us, but in order to truly know who God is, we needed more than the light of the sun. We needed the Light of the World to reveal Him to us. And that’s exactly what Jesus came to do. Through Jesus, we see the glory of the One True God.

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Fighting usually isn’t a very good thing, but if you’ve watched people run a race, they’re fighting the entire time. They’re fighting the urge to quit. That’s why Paul encouraged his protégé to not give up, but to fight the good fight every single day.
