Mourning into Dancing - reacting to daily events, we can become saturated with anger or bitterness, fear or worry. But everything can change when we commit these situations to God. He can give us victory. Instead of being worried and afraid, we can trust in the Lord. He can turn around any situation. Allow God to turn your mourning into dancing. Let Him fill your heart with joy and confidence. Don’t be silent, but give Him thanks

David faced many problems and confronted many enemies. 

He battled sickness and discouragement. 

At times, his burdens were so heavy that he wept all night. 

He felt “dismayed” as he made mistakes and experienced God’s anger. 

And he knew how it felt when God hid His face.

But everything changed when he humbled himself and called on the Lord. 

David asked God to hear him, to “be gracious,” and to be his “helper.”

David discovered that God could change his circumstances. 

He could turn the moments of mourning into times of celebration. 

He could lift darkness and replace it with light.

He could change hopelessness into hope.

Because of this, David could be confident instead of fearful about his circumstances. 

He could become so radiant that he sang songs of praise. 

Instead of cursing his circumstances or wallowing in anguish, he could be filled with thanksgiving.

How easily we can become absorbed in the emotions of the moment. 

Reacting to daily events, we can become saturated with anger or bitterness, fear or worry.

But everything can change when we commit these situations to God. 

He can give us victory, 

- no matter what the issue … 

- no matter what adversaries and obstacles we face …

- no matter what is going on in the world … 

- no matter how hopeless things may appear to our natural minds.

Instead of being worried and afraid, we can trust in the Lord. 

He can turn around any situation.

Today, allow God to turn your mourning into dancing.

Let Him fill your heart with joy and confidence.

Don’t allow the flesh or the world to dominate your life, but let God change you … renew you … and revive you. 

Don’t be silent, but give Him thanks.

A Time to Mourn and a Time to Dance - there is a God-appointed time, place, and purpose for every moment and that the Lord is ultimately in control of them all. Mourning is the natural process of working through the heartache that follows a significant loss. God uses mourning to produce healing. In the kingdom of God, those who mourn are blessed because they are destined to dance and celebrate at the marriage supper of the Lamb

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning - We who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Comfort one another with these words. There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces

From Mourning to Dancing - when we think about God’s faithfulness over the years, we know that He’s willing and able to turn our grief to dancing once again — to give us sufficient grace in this life and full joy in heaven. The Lord gives us hope when we feel hopeless. He teaches us that our identity is in Him and not in what we do. He gives us courage to face an unknown future. When we wear the rags of “ashes,” He gently gives us a coat of praise
