Joy Comes in the Morning

My husband and I are expecting a baby girl in June. Her name is Rinnah. It is a Hebrew word that I came across last year while reading Psalm 30. Verse 5 of this chapter reads, “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”.  My Bible has these things called Word Wealth throughout, where certain words are highlighted and you are given the Strong’s definition and where else it is found in Scripture.  The Word Wealth on this page highlights “joy” in Psalm 30:5: “rinnah (ree-nah); Strong’s #7440: A shout of rejoicing; shouting; loud cheering in triumph; singing. Rinnah describes the kind of joyful shouting at the time of a great victory. In Prov. 11:10, rinnah describes the jubilation of the righteous when the wicked are eliminated. Zeph. 3:17 literally says that God will dance over His beloved people with singing or a shout of joy. Rinnah may best be illustrated by the testimony of the redeemed, returning to Zion
