SCRIPTURE: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. — Ps 30:5

MORNING THOUGHT: Christian! If you are in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up your heart with the thought of the coming of your Lord. Be patient, for

“Lo! He comes with clouds!”

Be patient! The Gardener waits until He reaps His harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.” If you are ever so wretched now, remember

“A few more rolling suns, at most,
Will land you on fair Canaan’s coast.”

Your head may be crowned with thorny troubles now but it shall wear a starry crown before long. Your hand may be filled with cares—it shall sweep the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Your garments may be soiled with dust now—they shall be snow-white by-and-by. Wait a little longer.
