"THE BANQUETING TABLE"

Psalm 42:11


Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
Psalms 30
5 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Revelation 21:4

4 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away.

 Song of Solomon 2:16
16 [She said distinctly] My beloved is mine and I am his!
 Song of Solomon 2:4

4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love [for love waved as a protecting and comforting banner over my head when I was near him].
 


Deuteronomy 31:6-8
6 Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.
7 Be strong, courageous, and firm, for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to possess it.
8 It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit—depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm.

Deuteronomy 32:10-14
10 He found him in a desert land, in the howling void of the wilderness; He kept circling around him, He scanned him [penetratingly], He kept him as the pupil of His eye.11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, He spread abroad His wings and He took them, He bore them on His pinions.12 So the Lord alone led him; there was no foreign god with Him.13 He made Israel ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the increase of the field; and He made him suck honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock,14 Butter and curds of the herd and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the finest of the wheat; and you drank wine of the blood of the grape.



Deuteronomy 6:23
23 And He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in to give us the land which He swore to give our fathers.


 


Psalm 6:8
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

 Psalm 119:97-105



97 Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.

 98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies, for [Your words] are ever before me.
 99 I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers, because Your testimonies are my meditation.
 100 I understand more than the aged, because I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].
 101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your word [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it].
 102 I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.
 103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
 104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
 
Zephaniah 3
 
17 The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.


O eyes that are red with weeping, cease your scalding flow, for in a little while ye shall know no more tears! None can wipe tears away like the God of love, but He is coming to do it. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Come, Lord, and tarry not; for now both men and women must weep!
