Light Reflection-Psalm 30:11-12 Wailing Into Dancing

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Psalm 30:11 and 12.

“You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.”

We go through various seasons of our lives. There are seasons of brokenness, grief, pain, sickness, and sadness. That is part of the human experience. Believers in God and unbelievers face these kinds of challenges.

But God’s grace offers us light at the end of the tunnel. David wrote in Psalm 30, verse 5, “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”  That is similar to what Jesus told His disciples the night before He died. “Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”  The disciples did rejoice when they saw the Lord after His resurrection.

This Light Reflection inspires us to praise God for the evidence of His grace in the Year to Shine.
