Hold On For the Joy

For His anger endures but a moment, in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
- Psalm 30:5

You may be walking through the driest, darkest, most desperate situation of your life, but hold on - joy comes in the morning. Remember, weeping lasts only for a night. The army of God goes forth in the morning and marches under the banner of light (John 9:5)

Jesus declares, "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14). Stop drinking from the old wells of your past traditions and worldly preoccupations. Refuse to drink the stagnant, sin-infested, putrid waters of this world, and dig new wells deep into the pure waters of God.

Sing a new song unto the Lord as Israel did: "Then Israel san this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it" (Numbers 21:17). Christ is the well of living water springing up within us.

We must allow his well to flow continually and eternally from within us through the Holy Spirit. "He that believeth on me (Jesus), as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive)" (John 7:38-39).
