“His (God’s) favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5

Arguably one of the best prison films ever made is “The Shawshank Redemption” staring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, and is based on a novella written by none other than Stephen King. In the film, Tim’s character pens a pivotal letter to Morgan Freeman which in part says,

“Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies”

In God we have the one great hope in life. For Psalm 30 tells us that His favor is for life, therefore, our momentary weeping over our struggles and trials in life may indeed endure for a night, but joy does come in the morning. Have hope today, the sun will rise tomorrow.
