PSALM 30:5 WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING
Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
The night shall always pass. The heavy eyes, the exhaustion, the tormenting ailments, will all pass away in their time. I don’t allow afflictions without a cause; I don’t throw around these things randomly. There is a purpose in everything. In EVERYTHING, there is a purpose. Isn’t that wonderful? If you can truly believe that, then you will begin to see all battles from a different perspective. They have a purpose, they were sent, you will say, I’m supposed to learn something. Even when you don’t seem to have learned anything, you’ve still learnt something. Deep inside you’ve gained something. You’re a bit beaten up and washed out, but you’re also a more hardened soldier. You’ve gained grit, more endurance, and experience. You took it on the chin and are back up again! You’re being proven. Your mettle is being honed and tempered. Some fights are just that—proving melees. Every soldier has to be kept on his toes, else he become corpulent and lazy. So I keep you on your toes in many ways, My dear soldier. Even if it means rising from your cot in the midnight watches to face a duel outside your tent. The air is cool and sharp. The only light you have is the moon, as it casts its deep shadows over the great field. It’s only you and your counterpart. You are all alone in the vast expanse of night…These night seasons teach you something you can never learn in the daytime. There’s a certain spirit about night. Your Father David talked about this; the quietness, the stillness. There’s so much the night can teach you, if you’ll listen…
Psalm 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
Psalm 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Psalm 42:8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Psalm 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
If I call you in the night, then it is a time to learn. The Night showeth knowledge. I communed with My first children, Adam and Eve, in the cool of the evening. I called Samuel in the night to speak with him. I myself spoke with My Father in the early mornings while it was yet dark. I spoke to many of My servants in dreams and visions upon their bed. In the night, your spirit and mind are relaxed. They have nothing else to do other than listen. They can’t help but listen because everything around them is still and quiet. I love to connect with you in the night seasons. My voice is so clear because everyone else has stopped their incessant chatter and I have a chance to be heard. I don’t like to talk to you all loud and shouting—like I sometimes have to do in the daytime. My words have to be short and to the point because there’s so much static around and other voices. But…in the night it’s all so quiet, so peaceful. I can come and really talk to you then. I can come and hold you and whisper with My still, small voice in your ear—like a lover. I can really show you some wonders of the spirit world! We can go deep; we can have a good conversation, without all the hindrances of the day. So if you find that you cannot sleep, or that I have called to you in the night, then know that I have something to say. Or maybe I just couldn’t get to really talk with you in the day like I wanted to, so I woke you from your slumber to express My love for you.
Psalm 119:55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
Psalm 119:148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches that I might meditate in thy word.
Psalm 121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
I love you so much. And want you to remember in the times of battle that I, your Husband, never make you carry a cross which I have not already carried Myself. I am always there with you, under that same yoke, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, walking beside you. I wake up with you. When you can’t sleep, I am there, lying right beside you. In the midnight hours I am there. I will not sleep—I cannot sleep—when one of My Beloved watches alone in the night. I asked My disciples to be with Me in the Garden of Gethsemane, to stay awake with Me, to be by My side in My hour of midnight. And I will be by your side in all your midnights, in all your trials, and torments.
…So I wanted you to know that I will never leave you nor forsake you, I will never slumber nor sleep while you fight on. I am standing there with you—on your right side usually, that’s where I like to stand, so I can lock arms with you as lovers would. I really am there with you. And I take your infirmities, and I bear your sicknesses. I place them upon Myself, so that I may comfort you with the comfort that I am given. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some. I love you, My Love, and am always there for you.
Psalm 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
