Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints

Isn't it wonderful to have saints in your life?  Those sisters who live out the life of faith - where would one be without them.  Oh, how I acknowledge that they are the divine intervention of God in my life.

God's encouragement and blessing comes in so many different ways.  Though I may feel so very lost and inept in my relationship with him at times - He never fails to be my compass in times of trouble.

While sorrows always come, it's a blessing to know joy comes in the morning!

Psalm 30
 ¹ I will exalt you, O LORD,
       for you lifted me out of the depths
       and did not let my enemies gloat over me.  ² O LORD my God, I called to you for help
       and you healed me.
 ³ O LORD, you brought me up from the grave ^[b] ;
       you spared me from going down into the pit.
 ⁴ Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
       praise his holy name.
 ⁵ 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.
 ⁶ When I felt secure, I said,
       "I will never be shaken."
 ⁷ O LORD, when you favored me,
       you made my mountain ^[c] stand firm;
       but when you hid your face,
       I was dismayed.
 ⁸ To you, O LORD, I called;
       to the Lord I cried for mercy:
 ⁹ "What gain is there in my destruction, ^[d]
       in my going down into the pit?
       Will the dust praise you?
       Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
 ¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
       O LORD, be my help."
 ¹¹ You turned my wailing into dancing;
       you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
 ¹² that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
       O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
