When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing - 'Psalm 126:1, 2.
The Lord had done great things for us and we rejoice as He had brought us back from our captivity. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, And we are glad. Bring back our captivity, O Lord, As the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him - Psalm 126:3-6.
God will restore and rebuild everything in our life after bringing us back from captivity. I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them upon their land, and they shall never again be plucked up out of the land that I have given them, says the LORD your God - Amos 9:14, 15.
Let us praise the name of the Lord our God who had brought us back from captivity and restored us and made us glad. So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame - Joel 2:25,26. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble - Psalm 90:15. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away - Isaiah 51:11.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for bringing us back from our captivity and restoring us everything that we have lost and making us glad. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
