Joy Comes in The Morning!


Joy Comes in The Morning!
And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss. And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord. Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel: And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people. And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship. Moses and Aaron went to the king of Egypt and told him, "The LORD God says, 'Let my people go into the desert, so they can honor me with a celebration there.' ". "Who is this LORD and why should I obey him?" the king replied. "I refuse to let you and your people go!" They answered, "The LORD God of the Hebrews, has appeared to us. Please let us walk 3 days into the desert where we can offer sacrifices to him. If you don't, he may strike us down with terrible troubles or with war."The king said, "Moses and Aaron, why are you keeping these people from working? Now everyone get back to work!" The king ordered the slave masters not to provide the slaves with straw yet make the same number of bricks that they usually do. The slave masters beat them so badly that finally, the men in charge of the slaves went to the king and said, "Why are you treating us like this? No one brings us any straw, but we are still ordered to make the same number of bricks. We are beaten with whips." The king replied, "You are lazy! That's why you keep asking me to let you go and sacrifice to your LORD. Get back to work! You won't be given straw, but you must still make the same number of bricks." The men knew they were in deep trouble when they were ordered to make the same number of bricks each day. After they left the king, they went to see Moses and Aaron, who had been waiting for them. Then the men said, "We hope the LORD will punish both of you for making the king and his officials hate us. Now they even have an excuse to kill us." Moses left them and prayed, "Our LORD, why have you brought so much trouble on your people? Is that why you sent me here? Ever since you told me to speak to the king, he has caused nothing but trouble for these people. And you haven't done a thing to help."
Lesson to be Learnt:
When the Lord is solving the problems in our life, it might at times appear to us like we have jumped out of frying pan into the fire. But stand still, wait and see the wonders of the Lord. For the small pain that you are going through is going to end. Weeping might last the night but joy comes in the morning. Instead of grumbling and complaining against the Lord like the children of Israel, we should praise the Lord in whatever situation we are. They dint trust or believe that the Lord who had sent them a deliverer would save them as well. So brothers/sisters if we are in such a situation today, shall we pray to the Lord to give us strength to praise Him in every situation.

Psalm 30:5
 (Hindi) क्योंकि उसका क्रोध, तो क्षण भर का होता है, परन्तु उसकी प्रसन्नता जीवन भर की होती है। कदाचित् रात को रोना पके, परन्तु सबेरे आनन्द पहुंचेगा।।
(MKJV)  For His anger is only a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
(Tamil OV)  அவருடைய கோபம் ஒரு நிமிஷம், அவருடைய தயவோ நீடிய வாழ்வு; சாயங்காலத்தில் அழுகை தங்கும், விடியற்காலத்திலே களிப்புண்டாகும்.
(Telugu)  ఆయన కోపము నిమిషమాత్రముండును ఆయన దయ ఆయుష్కాలమంతయు నిలుచును. సాయంకాలమున ఏడ్పు వచ్చి, రాత్రి యుండినను ఉదయమున సంతోషము కలుగును.
