Psalms 30:5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
For us, sometimes this seems to be reversed. we often think that our suffering lasts forever and the moments of joy are few and far between.
The Christian faith is built on hope. We believe that we will have that peace and joy eternally and this life is but a moment. So the problem seems to be whether or not we can get our heads out of the limits of this immediate life that we lead and look to the life that Christ offers. That will give us peace and we can truly say then that his favor is for a life time.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to see that the troubles I have are few and small. You are the creator and sustainer of all things and in you I can enjoy the hope that I will one day be with you eternally.
Amen
