Proclamation:
"Sing to
The LORD, you saints of
His; praise His holy name. For
His anger lasts
only a moment, but
His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may
remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Psalms
30:4-5 (NIV)
Explanation:
King David told the believers to sing praises unto The Lord and to praise His holy name. He said that The Lord would only be angry with them for a short time, but His favor was everlasting. They may have to suffer and cry for a short time, but that time would be followed by a period of rejoicing.

Application:
We know that bad things can happen to good people. All of us will face and endure the storms, trials, and tribulations of this life. The issue is not the trouble that we face, the issue is our response to the trouble. (Matthew 5:39 and James 1:2) The Bible states that there is a time for all things, both good and bad. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) We are to keep our Christ-like behavior at all times, even in the midst of our tribulations. (Romans 12:12) We are to keep the faith, and never lose hope, because trouble will not last for long. (1 Peter 1:6-8) Our trials and troubles may cause us to suffer and weep for a while but The Lord God will soon have mercy on us and allow our joy to return. Our suffering is temporary, our joy is coming. As believers we know that God does not make mistakes, and that all things will work out for our good because we love The Lord. (Romans 8:28)
