Bible Verse of The Day – 10-3-14

Ecclesiastes 3:4 (NKJV) 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance…

This verse encourages us to weep, to laugh, to mourn and to dance.

There are going to be times when we will find ourselves doing these very things and there is nothing wrong with doing any of them.

Some people get upset when they see grown men cry. They may think it’s not right for men to cry. Well, Jesus cried.

John 11:35 (NKJV) 35 Jesus wept.

It’s OK for men to weep and let it out. Some people may not even know how to cry, because they were taught to be strong and hold those tears back.  

In order for us to be able to laugh again, sometimes we may need to weep; get some things off our chest, so to speak. It may be the very thing we need to do in order to let some things go.

Mourning is another one. There will be times when we need to mourn. How will we ever get past letting something go if we don’t take the time to mourn? Go ahead and mourn.This is a natural process that we must go through if we ever want to be able to laugh and dance again!

The important thing to remember is that this verse says, there is, “a TIME”, meaning we shouldn’t remain weeping or mourning forever. There comes a time of laughing and dancing as well!

If you find yourself stuck in mourning for someone or something and you can’t seem to get past it, there may be something that you are struggling with letting go of or facing. It’s going to take you asking God to show you what you are still hanging onto and why. He will help you with this as you sincerely seek Him for the answer.
