Devo: “Sadness for Joy”
Psalms 30: 11: “You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy”
God’s story is about making the bad things untrue. He makes beauty out of brokenness. God’s biggest gift to His people is He transforms out pain. The knowledge of God’s plan of redemption allows us to live our lives joyfully, despite the brokenness all around us. No matter what sadness we face today, we can remain joyful because we have the hope of heaven. Whatever sadness you face today, be encouraged, our God can exchange sadness for joy.
