Psalm 30
Joy Comes with the MorningA Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the Temple.
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my mountain stand strong;
When you hid your face;
I was dismayed.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Jacob believed Blessings should be shared and multiply, multiply, instead of hoarded. Twelve Sons would be Blessed and just as Jesus healed the deaf man gently, privately to have complete healing in the understanding; In the same manner, Jacob explained the very personal blessing. Some Blessings diligently worked past what some would call unsurmountable odds. Jacob, who had become Israel, didn't gloss over all the hardships, but didn't mention others. His life allowed Grace upon Grace.
Scriptures never record Jacob, then Israel, receiving apology from his 12 sons.
Israel lived shaking off the dust off this problem and journeying past. God let the journey take the sons to the Land of Goshen. Jacob/Israel did what he could do for his sons. Jacob is recorded finding his Joy. In doing this, Jacob created a Hope and Future for his family.
Jesus records Life is Joy.
We blend together as we hold things together for each other genuinely. This morning, I set out with someone I enjoy on a car trip to get coffee. As we arrived, we found my entire handbag was not in the car. For many years great upheaval would have been given. Stress. Yelling. The whole genuine article. No one would have been left in peace.
Somehow, as I left all the people and dogs at the coffee shop, to go home, I felt like this would turn out well. And prayed. Calm enough to pray with certainty. The Tile showed my friend was right, the purse had been carried for me - I had wet fingernails - and was not at my home address. The Tile showed this was on the route we traveled. I arrived home to find an unknown vehicle in the driveway and no one manning the car. Distressing. Only briefly.
A mother and daughter, I didn't know at all, had seen the handbag (* My Grandmother Anita's word for this) sitting on the car roof and then, later, found the purse on the road. They had gone to my home, found neighbors and were leaving my purse with neighbors. All my things intact. Joy is Complete. Life is Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This young girl and her mother had stopped their day for 30 minutes and went places they didn't know to return my purse intact. They rang doorbells to return the purse. I even had an apology for having to look in my wallet to find my address. I was so very, very, very Thrilled.
Rolling Goodness and Blessings.
The Good we give to others multiplies.
Wow. Goodness does multiply.
Double and Triple and Life Time Blessings.
I prayed for the Mother and Daughter to have all God's Blessings as I drove back to the coffee shop to have the coffee we ordered before I drove home. I was returning very, very, very Happily.
The Calm and the prayer I felt on the journey home to find if my purse was intact or even surviving - was still with me. Grace of God. Goodness of God. His Gift to me.
And as I got to the Coffee shop, I turned right from a fairly busy street into a usually crowded shopping center further back from the street, Especially crowded on Saturday about a block away. And what I was calm for, slow enough for, deliberate enough - blessed to be - was coming to a full Stop - Suddenly. Avoiding the teen girl oblivious to the danger of stepping out on the crosswalk from behind trees. She was shaking her headphones and phone in rhythm with her song on the phone. In obscure clothing, she had no clue what she'd done was step into a blind spot. Barely a glance sideways, for her and the danger of a possible pile up for stopping to save a life.
The Mother and Daughter I told had made my day - had made Made MADE my Day.
And this goodness - I'm just not going to forget.
