“The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.”
Psalm 126:3 Psalm 126 is one of the psalms of ascents. They were sung as the people as they ascended on the temple in Jerusalem. They are calls to worship. Remembrances of what the Lord has done, pleas for the Lord to again intercede.
As I read this verse today, I began to remember some of the great things the Lord has done for my family. He has given us a home. Everyone, but me, has employment. We have food available at meal time. We are healthy. We have clothes to wear. Our children all know the Lord and love him. A beautiful granddaughter, who truly is an Angel. And now a new baby on the way. Yes, God has done great things for us. The Hebrew word “joy” also means to be glad, to make merry, to be merry-hearted, and to rejoice.
You want joy in your world? Think on what the Lord has done for you.
Help me to make a list. Not of those who are naughty or nice. Not of those you must buy gifts for. But a list of great things the Lord has done for you. If you do, you will find that you are filled with joy.
You can message me back with what you would like to add to the list and see what others have added.
