For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. — Psalm 30:5

All consolation comes from God (cf. 2 Cor. 1). Even though he is ruthless in dealing with our sin and resistance, it is for our benefit. It will only persist for a brief time before giving way to joy. Please don’t give up if you are going through a period of discipline or are dealing with the harsh repercussions of sin. Morning will break, and with it will come God’s grace. It’s well worth the wait!
