Before the Morning

Don't you just love when a song comes on the radio at the exact time you need to hear it? If that doesn't tell you God is watching over you and protecting you, I don't know what will! This morning on my ride to work, I heard the song "Before the Morning" by Josh Wilson. I think I have heard this song before, many times actually, but not until this morning did it have a special message from God directly to me! I hope this song will bless you in any circumstance you are going through at the moment. God is faithful. He loves and adores us. Remember, "it's just the dark before the morning."

Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you?
If there's a God who loves you
Where is He now?

Or maybe there are things you can't see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending
Someday, somehow you'll see, you'll see

Would you dare, would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing?
'Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It can't compare to the joy that's coming

So hold on, you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
'Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
And you know where you're going
You just don't know how you'll get there
So say a prayer

And hold on
'Cause there's good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time, but you'll see the bigger picture

Chorus

Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory
Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory, memory, memory, yeah

Chorus

Come on, you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
'Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the hurt before the healing

Oh, the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning
Yeah, yeah, before the morning
Yeah, yeah, before the morning

Is that song encouraging or what? I love that the Lord uses our wonderful Christian artists in order to write songs of encouragement, streaming from the Lord's own mouth. Know that Jesus loves you, and many times we just have to wait. Waiting is hard. We don't like to wait. But I will wait, because again, this trial right now is just the dark before the morning. There's joy that's coming and I'm excited to bare witness to it!
