Christian Devotional – August 20, 2018

Tough times? We’ve all had them. It’s entirely possible that you are going through them now. Psalm 126 talks about coming out of them.

Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
Psalms 126:5 NASB

We are going to have times where we sow in tears. Life is hard and difficult. At times it can be full of problems, trials, testing, frustration, and so many other things that it becomes a difficult to even figure out how to take one hour at a time let alone one day at a time.  I have sown a lot of tears throughout my life in different circumstances and situations. I know without a doubt, that there is light on the other side and there will be a harvest of joyful shouting at some point. I may never understand exactly why I go through the things I go through, and you may never understand it either. But like the psalmist, I can truly say even when I sow in tears, because of my relationship with Jesus Christ, I can reap with joyful shouting.
