There seems like there are days where all you want to do is pull the blanket over your head. You don’t want to get up and you don’t want to deal with today’s challenges. How do you deal with those situations in life where things keep falling like heavy rain on a dark, dreary and cloudy day with no hope for sunshine tomorrow?
Sometimes it seems that days go by and we don’t see the glory of God coming to us when day upon day we see dark and dreary cloudy days. However, when we have the hope Jesus and we can see through the darkness of what God has done and is doing in our lives, even with today’s challenges, we see the hope of tomorrow. This reminds me of one of my favorite hymns:
We may sing it during your worship services but do we really take the time to think about the words? Written by Emory S. Peck, 1940.
“If the skies above you are gray, You are feeling so blue, If your cares and burdens seem great all the whole day through, There’s a silver lining that shines in the heavenly land, Look by faith and see it my friend, Trust in His promises grand.
Often we are troubled and tried, Sick with sorrow and pain, There are others living in sin blest with earthly gain, Take new courage we cannot tell what the morrow may bring, When the dark clouds vanish away then your heart truly can sing.
Oft we fail the see the rainbow up in heaven’s fair sky, When it seems the fortunes of earth frown and pass us by, There are things we know that are worth more the silver and gold, If we hope and trust Him each day, We shall have pleasure untold.
(Chorus)
Sing and you’ll be happy today, Press along to the goal, Trust in Him who leadeth the way, He is keeping your soul, Let the world know where you belong, Look to Jesus and pray, Lift your voice and praise Him in song, Sing and Be Happy Today!”
