Daily Inspiration

“Those who sow with tears will reap with joy.” - Psalm 126:5

This powerful promise reminds us that our seasons of sorrow are not permanent destinations but temporary passages to greater joy. Just as a farmer must first break the hard ground and plant seeds with laborious effort, sometimes through tears of exhaustion or uncertainty, so too our spiritual and emotional trials prepare the soil of our hearts for an abundant harvest. God doesn’t waste our pain—He redeems it, multiplies it, and transforms it into testimonies of His faithfulness.

In Proverbs 12:17, it says, "An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies." In today’s world, finding honest, fact-based news can be a challenge. That’s why 1440 delivers daily news that’s free from opinions and bias—just the facts, helping you stay informed with truth.

Question of the day

Why does God allow His children to experience seasons of deep sorrow and weeping?

Scripture shows us that tears serve a divine purpose in our spiritual growth. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Paul explains that God comforts us in our troubles so we can comfort others with the same comfort we received. Our tears create empathy, deepen our dependence on God, and prepare us for ministry to others. Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35), showing us that godly sorrow is not weakness but a pathway to experiencing God’s presence more intimately. Through tears, we learn to value joy more deeply and trust God’s timing more completely.

Moment of Reflection

What grief in your life needs godly expression today? Perhaps it’s time to stop suppressing those emotions and instead offer them to God as a sacrifice of honesty. Remember a time when joy emerged after a season of weeping—how did God’s faithfulness reveal itself? Your tears are not signs of weak faith but evidence of a heart that feels deeply and trusts God with raw authenticity.

Thought for the day

Tears are indeed liquid prayers—wordless communications that reach God’s throne when we’re too overwhelmed to form sentences. In Romans 8:26, we learn that the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Every tear that falls from your eyes is caught by the One who keeps them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). They are not forgotten or wasted but are being transformed into future testimonies. The same God who turned water into wine can turn your tears into joy. Weep when you need to weep, knowing that the harvest of rejoicing is already being prepared in the spiritual realm.

Closing Blessing

May the God of all comfort hold you close today, catching every tear and planting them as seeds of tomorrow’s joy. May you find courage to express your grief honestly before Him, trusting that your harvest of rejoicing is already on its way. Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
