Proclamation:
“The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3
(NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God but the name of the human author is
unknown. This is another psalm of
ascent, one of the songs which the children of Israel sang as they journeyed
towards Jerusalem. The psalmist begins
by describing a dream-like situation of returning to Jerusalem, having their
fortunes restored, and the joy that they felt. (Psalm 126:1-2) They knew that The Lord God had done some great
thing for them. Their tears of woe had turned
into songs of joy. (Psalm 126:5-6)
Application:
It is good to know that even in the midst
of a bad situation, that deliverance and restoration are possible. Saints may suffer and shed some tears but The
Lord God knows what we are going through and He can wipe away all of our tears.
(Psalm 126:5, Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 7:17)
Weeping may endure for a night but joy is coming in the morning. (Psalm
30:5) So, let us not be weary in our
present situation, because in due season, if we faint not, we shall be restored
and reap joy. (Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 145:15)
