Weeping may endure through the night, but joy comes in the morning. -Psalm 30.5 Joy Comes in the Morning is a series of 21 daily devotions aimed at healing in mind, body, and spirit. From the Introduction: Often, a physical illness has its origins in emotional and spiritual distress or "dis-ease." When this is the case-and it happens far more often than people assume-then prayerful devotion is the most potent medicine any healer can prescribe. Rev. Alvin G. Blackard, Jr., is pastor of Northside Assembly of God in Springfield, Missouri, whose congregation he has served for thirty years.
