Psalm 90: O Lord, come back to us!
How long will you delay?
Take pity on your servants!
14 Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,
so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
15 Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!
Replace the evil years with good.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
Some days (sometimes some years) are extremely difficult ones, and joy is hard to find. This earthly life is, quite frankly, harder for some than for others, and we don't normally know why or for what purpose.
But this we do know.
The victory is God's, and therefore, ours, as believers.
Eternity will be filled with joy beyond our wildest expectations.
And that eternity will overwhelm our earthly troubles and make them feel fleeting.
It reminds me of the phrase of a song "It's Friday, but Sunday's coming!" No matter how bleak Friday is, we can rest in the surety that Sunday is coming!
