I love this Psalm because it's a song of celebration for what God has done. You can sense the air of celebration and joy as "the LORD brought back the captives to Zion." I'm sure that anyone would want to be part of a party like this.
One thing I realized, however, is that not everyone will get to join in this kind of celebration. And why is that? Verse 5 states, "Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy." Sometimes the greatest experiences in life only come with a high price. Our natural human tendency is to avoid having to give up anything and to try to get a free ride, and if we stick with the status quo and what is easiest for us, we may never see some of the miraculous things that the Israelites saw in their history. I pray that all of us at HMCC will be willing to "sow in tears" so that we can experience all that God has in store for us.
