Father—shine Your light through us as we go—bold in humility—to meet real people facing old labels—thin wallets—and closed doors. Yet You meet them here—amen!
Read — Psalm 126-1-6 KJV
The Lord restores His people—calls them to re-sow in tears—promises joy.
Jesus supplies grace to sow again—so we serve—give—and build re-entry pathways.
Remember restoration (v1-3)
1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
Request renewal (v4)
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
Re-sow in tears (v5-6)
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
