Thought for the Week
We, like in this chapter, are still in a captive state within the world around us. They are constantly bribing and trying to get us to conform to the ways of the world. This chapter shows us our need to trust in God and turn to Him in all our trials and tribulations.
This is shown in v5-6 where it talks about trusting in God sowing the seed, being His Will and Purpose, through our sorrows and sadness, where we will reap in joy and in weeping we shall rejoice. And in a joyous effort bring along those who have been bundled together like sheaves with us to the kingdom
Then, when we reach that longed for goal of the kingdom, we will be like those in v2-3 who when Christ returns will be filled with laughter and tongues will sing praise to Yahweh for all the great things He has done for us.
We can in this upcoming week at conference, as a beginning to the things we look forward to in the kingdom, being with others of like-mind trusting in God together through our sorrows, and using our laughter and praise to Yahweh to bond together on our walks towards the Kingdom.
WEEKLY READING
Psalm 126
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
God was wonderful to us,we are one happy people.
— Psalm 126:3
