Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning. ~Psalm 30:4-5 NIV
We have today, the present.
We no longer have yesterday,
have not come into possession
of tomorrow. But God keeps gifting to us
the present and as long as we avoid
edging God out, his gifts
are as we would give to those dearest to us!
His favor lasts a lifetime;
and rejoicing comes in the morning.
Thanks be to God for the present!
