Psalm 30:-5 (KJV) cluase C/D 5 (C) weeping may endure for a night, (D)but joy cometh in the morning.
VERY BRIEFLY IF I COULD GET A
BAPTIST AMEN -A METHODIST NOD
AND A SANTIFIED CHURCH HALLEJUAH
I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT
(GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT)
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
THE PSALMIST ASSURES US
THAT THE REDEMPTIVE HAND OF
GOD IS STILL OPERATIVE IN HUMAN
HISTORY
AND THAT WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD
MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT EVEN IN THE MIDIST OF OUR WEEPING NIGHTS
THAT GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE
AND HE STILL HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS
BECAUSE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
WHEN WE ARE AT OUR WORST
GOD IS AT HIS BEST
AND HE DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
I`VE BEEN BLACK 4 TIMES
A BLACK BABY
A BLACK BOY
A BLACK YOUNG MAN
A BLACK MAN
AND IF THE LORD ALLOW ME TO SEE
MY GOLDEN YEARS
A BLACK OLD MAN
BUT IT`S THROUGH MY OWN EXPERIENCE IN LIFE
THAT I DISCOVERED FOR MYSELF
THAT YOU DON`T HAVE TO GO
LOOKING FOR A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
BECAUSE A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION WILL COME FIND YOU
AIN`T IT AMAZING HOW A NIGHT
SHIFT SITUATION WILL DRIVE DOWN
YOUR STREET
BACK UP IN YOUR DRIVE WAY WALK
RIGHT IN YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT KNOCKING
YOU DON`T HAVE TO GO LOOK FOR A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
BECAUSE A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION WILL COME FIND YOU
ALL IT TAKE IS A PHONE CALL IN THE
WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT
ALL IT TAKE IS THE DOCTOR
WALKING AWAY SHAKING HIS HEAD
ALL IT TAKE IS WATCHING THE 6 OR 10 OCLOCK NEWS
AND YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF SLAB
-DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHT
SHIFT SITUATION
BECAUSE WE GENERALLY FIND OURSELVES
IN 3 POSITIONS IN LIFE
AND THAT’S
GOING INTO A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
OR COMING OUT A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
AND JUST IN CASE THERE IS
SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE
WHO IS COMING OUT OF A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
AND I NEED TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY READ UP –PRAYED UP -AND SUITED UP
BECAUSE ANOTHER NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION
JUST MIGHT BE HEADED YOUR WAY
************************************************
BUT DAVID REVEALS TO US IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
THAT WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT
BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING
IN OTHER WORD WHAT DAVID IS SAYING IS
THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN OUR MISERY IS MUTE AND
WE`RE DEALING WITH SPEECHLESS SORRY
AND THERE APPEAR NO RELIEF IN
SIGHT
AND WE FIND OURSELVES LAYING
ON A LONELY PILLOW OF OUR OWN THOUGHTS
AND WE CAN`T EVEN EXPLAIN TO
OUR BOO WHAT WE ARE FEELING
THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN WE ARE UP COUNTING SHEEPS INSTEAD OF OUR BLESSING
GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE
NIGHT SHIFT
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT WHEN
WHEN MOSES HAD A WATERERY
GRAVE IN FRONT OF HIM AND PHAROAH BEHIND HIM
AND GOD SHOWED UP AT THE RED SEA
PUT THE WIND IN A FULL NELSON
AND MADE A FREEWAY DOWN THROUGH THE RED SEA
IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN GOD SHOWED UP AT THE
BURNING FURNACE AND TOOK THE
HEAT OUT OF THE FLAMES AND TURN
THE BURNING FURNACE INTO A FELLOWSHIP HALL
IT WAS THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN DANIEL WAS THROWN INTO THE LIONS DEN
AND GOD PUT THE LIONS ON A
VEGETERIAN DIET WHILE DANIEL WAS IN THE DEN
BUT A MEAT ONLY DIET WHEN HIS ENEMIES WAS THROWN IN
IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
WHEN THE DICIPLES OF THE LORD
FOUND THEMSELVES IN A STORM ON THE SEA OF GALLIEE
BUT IN THE 4TH WATCH OF THE NIGHT
JESUS CAME WALKING ON THE WATER
AND HE DOSE`NT WALK ON THE
WATER FOR THE DICIPLES TO SEE
HIM WALKING ON THE WATER
BUT HE WALKS ON THE WATER SO
THAT THE STORM COULD SEE IT`S CREATOR
GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
***************************************************
THAT WHY AS WE OPEN THIS TEXT UP FOR A MENTAL INVESTIGATION
AND THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE THAT WE WILL DISCOVER THAT
DAVID EXPLAINS TO US THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF WEEPING
AND THE EMINENT APPROACH OF
JOY IN THE AFTERMATH OF
DIFFICULT TIMES
TO REVEAL TO US THAT GOD DOES
HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT ****************************************************
WELL THE 1ST THING I NOTICE IN THE TEXT
IS THAT DAVID USES THE NIGHT TO
SHOW US THAT OUR WEEPING IS
ONLY TEMPORARY
IN OTHER WORDS
WHAT EVER IS CAUSING US TO WEEP
IN THE MIDIST OF OUR NIGHT SHIFT
IT`S ONLY TEMPORARY
IN OTHER WORDS THOSE
HEART ACHE --- HEART BREAK - SET
BACK AND THOSE SLEEPLESS
NIGHTS ARE ONLY TEMPORARY
BECAUSE THIS TO SHALL PASS
AND TROUBLE DON`T LAST ALWAYS **************************************
WELL NOT ONLY ARE THEY
TEMPORARY
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT THEY ARE (TABULATED)
BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING
THROUGH GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT
BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE A WEEPING
NIGHT SITUATION EVEN PULL INTO YOUR DRIVE WAY
IT HAS TO HAVE A PERMISSION SLIP FROM GOD
AND I WONDER IS THERE ANY BODY UNDER
THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE WHO CAN TESTIFY
IF GOD BRING YOU TO IT HE WILL
SEE YOU THROUGH IT
BECAUSE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
1-GOD WORKS ON US
TO PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US
2. SOMETIME GOD HAS TO TIGHTEN
THE STRINGS OF LIFE TO TUNE US UP
SO THAT OUR LIVES WILL BE IN TUNE TO HIS
3.GOD SOMETIMES HAS TO PUT US ON DISPLAY
SO THAT OTHERS WILL SEE HOW HE BOUGHT US OUT
AND HE IS ABLE TO BRING THEM OUT
IN OTHER WORDS
GOD SOMETIMES HAS TO BREAK US
TO MAKE US
BEND US TO MEND US
SOMETIME GOD ALLOWS LIFE TO SERVE US A LEMON
TO SEE IF WE ARE GOING TO ADD
JESUS TO OUR EQUATION AND MAKE SOME SWEET LEMONADE
***********************************************
WELL NOT ONLY ARE OUR NIGHT
SHIFT TEMPORARY AND TABULATED
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT THERE THERAPEUTIC
YOU GO IN ONE WAY AND COME OUT
OF IT ANOTHER
IN OTHER WORD
IT WORKS FOR OUR GOOD
BECAUSE WEEPING NIGHTS AND
JOYFUL MORNING GO HAND AND HAND
BECAUSE WITHOUT A TEST YOU CAN`T HAVE A TESTIMONY
AND YOU CAN`T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER
BECAUSE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
GOD WORKS ON US TO PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE
AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
IN 1988 BETTY WRIGHT WROTE A SONG CALL NO PAIN NO GAIN
AND THE MESSAGE OF THAT SONG IS
IF WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE GAIN IN
THE MORNING
WE MUST ENDURE THE PAIN OF THE
NIGHT
BECAUSE IT`S BENEFICAL
BECAUSE WE GO IN ONE WAY BUT WE COME OUT OF IT ANOTHER
