Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 126:1-6
This psalm speaks powerfully about the hope of the children of Israel and their trust in the promises of the Lord. It speaks of the “captivity of Zion” and reminds the Jewish people of what it was like during the Babylonian captivity. When the Lord brought them back to the land under the leadership of the governor, Zerubbabel, and the high priest, Joshua, their sorrow turned to joy, and their hearts could sing again. We are reminded that those who “sow in tears” have the promise that one day they shall “reap in joy.” All the sufferings of this life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that God has promised to His people (Romans 8:18-25).
Verse for Meditation: Verse 6 – “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
