Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

He Turns Mourning to DancingPsalm 30:11
No. 256
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.Psalm 30:11

David wrote this as someone who had been in the pit — sick, desperate, crying out. And he's writing to say: He turned it. Not immediately. But completely. The God who allowed the mourning is the same God who converts it to dancing. The story isn't over until He says it is.

Reflect

Is there a mourning in your life that you've stopped believing could become dancing? Tell God about it.

Prayer

Lord, I trust the turning. You can take my mourning and convert it to joy. I wait for the dance. Amen.
