“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.” Psalm 126:2-3 (ESV)
Our God is Good and benevolent to us. According to His promises, He has done and will do for us great things. The words of our verses are from a song which the people of Israel sang when the Lord brought them back from a period of enforced exile. God had shown His love and His faithfulness to His people so that others took note of what He had done. They acknowledged God’s hand in their restoration and return to the land and they gave God credit for it. God’s people recognized what God had done for them and they rejoiced greatly. It was a response that brought joyous laughter which filled their mouths. They couldn't stop from talking about it. How about us today? Has not God done great things for us also? We know that He has because He has promised to and because He has told us that He does. Should not the very thought of God’s goodness to us stir our hearts to praise Him? We might respond and be overflowing with joy and our reaction will be a testimony to others of God’s goodness.
