Words on Wednesday - Better By Morning

I know not everything gets better by morning but I have to admit that one of my favorite verses is Psalm 30:5

For his anger is but for a moment,

and his favor is for a lifetime.

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning. 

So, do you agree or disagree with this quote? I'd love to hear what you think.
