John 16:19-24
Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy” (v.20) NKJV
God’s word says, Sorrow may endure till a night, but joy will always come in the morning (Psalm 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when night comes, morning is always the next as God has covenanted it (Genesis 8:22). The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer to your joy. You will see your joy.
The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope for our lives. Jesus said our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall surely become a thing of joy. Jesus liken it to a woman in a labour room to deliver her child. A woman in this state often feels that the end has come. But when the child is delivered, it is like the beginning of another life for both the mother, whom God has blessed with a baby and the baby who has been successfully brought into the world.
It means a challenging season you are going through is about to bring an unfolding miracle of joy. All you need to do is to wait and don’t complain (1 Corinthians 10:10, Job 14:14). Faithful is He that has promised (Hebrews 10:23). And that is why no situation should break you down because you will always break through to a new joy after every situation. Your sorrow is turning to joy from now on in Jesus' name.
Prayer: Lord, turn my sorrow experiences to joy.
