Is there such thing as "Day"?
~Will There Really Be A "Morning"? by Emily Dickinson
The morning and the rising sun often symbolize the end of a trial. Like in a movie if the characters are fighting a long, hard battle way into the dead of night, the good guys usually emerge from war, victorious, with the sun climbing over the horizon behind them.
Job is still suffering greatly. He does not understand why all this misfortune has been mounded upon him, and Job is ready to give up. Job is at a point where he is wondering when the morning will come. Like in the poem by Emily Dickinson, he is asking if there even is a morning.
Often while we are in the middle of our troubles, it is hard to see beyond them. We get so bogged down by all our sorrows that we miss the glimpse of sun just over the horizon. I don't want to get bogged down, though. I want to be so consumed in Jesus that I have the strength to lift my head and see that sun, even when I am facing trials.
