God Will Restore & Provide Harvest
Backgrounder on Psalms 120-127:
These psalms deal with topics
dear to the heart of travellers
far from home: peace (120, 122);
protection (121, 125, 127); and
Provision (123, 124, 126). As you
read these “hymns of the highway”
imagine yourself on a journey of life
Lord, You’ll Restore to Your People:
When the Lord Brought Back
His exiles to Jerusalem, it was
like a dream! We were filled with
laughter, and we sang for joy. Yes,
the Lord has done amazing things
for us! What joy! (Ps 126: 1-3).
Those who plant in tears
Will Harvest with shouts of joy.
They weep as they go to plant
their seed, but they sing as
they return with the harvest,
Bringing In the Sheaves (v5-6).
Lord, thank you for not giving up
on me. Just like God’s people
returning from exile, I will praise
you for your grace that Brings Restoration. My heart is filled
with the joy of knowing that you
hold out a loving hand and say:
“Trust me! Try again and know
that I am with you.” Amen.
Lord, today’s verses tell us what
happens when we plant the seed
of God’s Word in the hearts of
those we love and hope it will
bear a harvest. Lord, your promise
is that the harvest is coming.
One day we will see many of
those seeds come to fruition.
Help us not to despair but instead
keep on planting. For U God will not
waste the seed we have obediently
scattered. And one day we will
see the fruit of our labour. Amen.
Lord, Going forth with weeping,
sowing for You Master,
Though the loss sustained
our spirit often grieves.
Waiting for the harvest,
and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing,
bringing in the sheaves. Amen !!
