IF THERE IS ASSURANCE OF JOY IN THE MORNING, THERE IS NO NEED TO CRY IN THE NIGHT”

THEME: THAT CHALLENGE WILL SOON EXPIRE

ANCHOR TEXT: “For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” Psalms 30:5.

Two young Americans were on a recreation adventure in Iraq in 2009. Their adventure took them to the Iraqi-Iranian border. They were held by Iranian security forces with allegations of entering into Iranian territory illegally and were accused of being American spies. The young men pleaded their innocence. They said where they were arrested was an unmarked portion of the Iraqi-Iranian border and they did not know whether they actually strayed into Iran. For over 2 years, they were kept in near solitary confinement in a 21/2 by 4 metres cell,

being led blind-folded many times into their cell room. Finally, in September 2011, after over 2 years in confinement, they were set free after a million dollar bail bond was brokered by the Oman Diplomatic authorities. Freedom eventually came after over two years!
