Job 8:21 "He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."
When things go wrong we can get very upset, but no matter how down we feel, or how bad our circumstances might be at any given moment, we can know it's only temporary. My mum used to say "This too will pass" and in hindsight she was right but it's hard to see it at the time!
If you've ever laughed in the past then know for sure God is going to fill you with laughter once again. Not just a giggle or a chuckle but full on side splitting laughter and your shouts of joy will be 'Woohoo' and 'Hurray' and 'Praise the Lord' with a deep inner joy!
So don't despair, don't look back at what was or what might have been because God is going to be giving you a "once again".
Take His promise by faith and thank Him for it. God's plans for you are far more than you can imagine and they will fill you with joy. Remember we read in an earlier blog that the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter? That tells me that our tomorrows will be far better and brighter than our yesterdays, no matter how good or bad they were, God has even better days ahead. Lets lay hold of that by faith.
Apostle Paul tells us to 'Rejoice in the Lord'. So even if you can't rejoice in other things right now, know that you can rejoice in our wonderful Saviour, in our God who is overflowing with lovingkindness to us.
Rejoice in His love, His goodness and His faithfulness to us and know His best for us is still definitely waiting for us to step in to (we're going from one degree of glory to another). Hallelujah!
Keep expecting God to 'once again' fill your mouth with laughter. Thank You Jesus.
hooray and amen
