The Simple Walk – 50 Days of Light
Day 40 – Joy Comes in the Morning

The Night Has An Expiration Date🔥

📖 Psalm 30:5 (KJV)

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


💡 Devotional Highlight:

Your night has an expiration date.
The pain you feel now is not the end of your story.
God has already scheduled your sunrise… and joy is on the way.

Weeping may endure for a night—
But that “may” means it cannot stay forever.
Morning will come, and with it will come the tangible presence of God’s joy to heal, restore, and renew.

🔥 Invitation:

If you’re in a night season, hold on.
The light is coming.
The joy is coming.
And it will be more than worth the wait.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for the unshakable promise that joy comes in the morning.
For every listener standing in a long night, I pray for endurance to trust You until the first light appears.
Let the sunrise of Your presence scatter every shadow and wipe every tear.
Turn mourning into dancing, despair into praise, and heaviness into garments of joy.
We receive Your promise today… and we declare that the morning is already on its way.
In Jesus’ name… Amen.

There are nights in life that feel endless, nights when
the shadows of grief, loss, or uncertainty stretch across the hours,
and hope seems to hide behind the clouds. Your tears

fall like rain, and the silence of God feels louder
than thunder. You lie awake, wondering will the darkness ever break?
Will I ever feel the warmth of His smile again?

(01:48):
to know. The night has an expiration date. Weeping may
endure for a night, The verse doesn't. It will stay forever,
it says. It may endure for a season, but seasons shift.

(02:11):
The darkest sky is still under God's command, and morning
must answer when he says, let there be light. And
here's the wonder. God's joy isn't just an emotion. It's

his presence breaking through. It's the sunrise that warms the
frostbitten soul. It's the reminder that his favor is not fragile,
his love has not failed, his promise has not expired.

(02:55):
Sometimes the night teaches you what the day could not,
That even in the silence he was still holding you,
That even in the pain, he was preparing a greater testimony,

(03:18):
That even in your tears, the seeds of joy were
being watered. Beloved, Joy doesn't just show up in the morning.
It comes, It moves towards you, It seeks you out.

(03:44):
It carries the fragrance of victory and the sound of breakthrough.
If you're in a night season right now, hold onto
this tree. The morning will not be late, and when

(04:05):
it comes, joy will knock on your door like an
old friend who never forgot where you live. My prayer is, Father,
thank you for the unshakeable promise that joy comes in

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
