Joanna - Her Promise

Joanna - Her Promise

Joy comes in the morning. Joanna discovered this in a miraculous way on Jesus’ resurrection day. She went to his tomb expecting to minister to his dead body and to grieve. Instead, her sorrow turned to tremendous joy. Our joy may not come this morning or tomorrow morning or even the morning after that. We face too many hardships, too many difficult situations, too much sorrow here on earth to think joy will arrive with each morning. But it will come. He has promised. At the end of the day, at the end of this life, there will be a joyful morning for all who trust in him.

but rejoicing comes in the morning.

you call forth songs of joy.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

You who dwell in the dust,
wake up and shout for joy.
