Psalm 126
-Theme: God does great
things in the midst of our adversity and chastening. His power releases us from
sin’s captive hold and brings us into full joy with Him.
-Historical Insight: Another anonymous “Psalm of Ascent,” but
is often attributed to the exiles returning from captivity in Ezra 1 as a celebration
song.
-*Application* Our God brings us back from the adversity and
punishment that we justly receive in this life as a result of straying from His
commands, precepts, and ways. The LORD is gracious and merciful towards us when
He doesn’t have to be. It is like a beautiful dream when He revives us and blesses
us despite our own depravity. His righteousness saves and delivers us from the most
distressful situations when we step towards Him in childlike-dependent faith. We
become glad again; we laugh, we shout, we sing, we testify once more. “Those who
sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting (Psalm 126:5).” Never forget this my
friend. Immerse yourself in His amazing grace.
