Morning Inspiration – GOD’S FAVOR LASTS FOR A LIFETIME!

As you step out today, here’s a reminder from God’s word to you from Psalm 30:5 [ NLT]

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

The Message translation says

He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love.The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.”

Today’s key verse contains two important truth about God’s love and faithfulness. The first part of this verse is a beautiful reminder of the characteristics of our Heavenly Father and I love how the scripture puts it that God’s anger for us his children last just for a moment, i.e. just for a little while. I believe it’s because God cannot permit Himself to be angry with us his children for more than a moment and this is because of his unlimited and unconditional love for us!

I also believe God’s anger is really from a place of love as God cannot stand sin which is one thing that might make God to be upset with us Habakkuk 1:13a says that God’s eyes are too pure to look on evil and He cannot tolerate wrongdoing. God is Holy and wants us to be likewise as 1 Peter 1:15 says “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do ( you also be holy in all your conduct).”

God promises us through his word that he will not allow his anger towards us go for more than a moment and that is a reassurance to us that even when we fall short of his glory as Romans 3:23 says that “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” God will forgive us when we ask for his forgiveness ( 1John 1:5).

We are confident that God’s love for us is forever and supersedes his anger and this allows or affords us the privilege of coming boldly before his throne to receive mercy and find grace in time of need ( Hebrews 4:16).

This second part of today’s verse points us to God’s faithfulness and promise that joy is coming to every situation that has caused us to cry. God’s promise of joy relates to every area of our lives that has brought us some form of pain or is causing us some sort of distress.

Therefore, as you go about your daily business and activities today, be confidence in this – that God’s anger can only be for a moment towards you. And if you have been convicted by the Holyspirit of any wrongdoings or an area of sin, ask the Father for forgiveness, believe He has forgiven you and receive his love and favor that He extends to you for a lifetime!

God is also saying to you through his word that no matter what you might be going through right now that has caused you to weep or causes you to shed tears through the night, Joy springs forth to you this morning in Jesus name! Hallelujah.

Remember, God’s favor is for a lifetime!

You will testify to God’s love, faithfulness, joy, and favor that will stand you out from others in Jesus name!

Do have blessed and fruitful day!

God bless you!
