Psalms 30:4-5
(4) Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
(5) For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Sometimes difficult circumstances and problems can tower over us to the point where we feel as if we are living in their shadows. David had experienced great difficulty in his life, but he understood the secret to getting out of their shadow was to "sing praise", "give thanks" and "remember the Lord" for who He is. "Weeping may endure for a night" - that is, it is a temporary thing for those who know the Lord. But "joy comes in the morning" - Magnify the Lord through praise and the shadows will disappear in the light of His overwhelming presence!
Application
Don't ignore your difficulties; they are real, but make a list of the character qualities of the Lord and allow this truth to be your source of real, abiding joy!
