Promise verse for Jul 17

What a joy to see more than 40 people attend the extended time of prayer last night. I shared on the promise verse and it is found in Psalms 30:11 -You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance;  you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy (GNT). 

Another translation says, Thou hast turned my mourning into joy: thou hast loosed my sack, and girded me with gladness. (GNV)

In this Psalm David mentions at least five areas which were the cause of his mourning:

1.   People were the cause of his mourning.

•  Verse 1- you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over

2.   Sickness was the course of his mourning

•  Verse 2 - I called to you for help, and you healed me.

3.   His circumstances were the cause of his mourning

• Verse 3 - O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4.   His own sins seems to be the cause of his mourning

• Verse 5 - For his anger lasts only a moment

5.   His emotional problems seem to be the cause of his mourning

• Verse 5 - weeping may stay for the night

But in all these situations, God turned his mourning into joy.  And God will do the same for us in the month of Jul.
