Living Between

“When our lives are immersed in Him, every ending, everything we believe to be the death of us, is instead a hand-engraved invitation to a new beginning…To move to the next level with God, we have to feel that He wants us there, that we’re invited…We are His treasure and the objects of His holy passion…

“Psalm 126 comes from a people who are living between the times, between a good time remembered and another good time hoped for…The first three verses testify to something wonderfully, dramatic, and gracious God did in the past.  The second three verses petition God to do something like it again…When we do meet difficulties and sorrows, they were not meant to stop us but to form the character required for our great harvest in the coming season…”

--Beth Moore

1 A pilgrim song.

 It seemed like a dream, too good to be true,

when God returned Zion’s exiles. 

2 We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our

good fortune.  We were the talk of the nations -
3 “God was wonderful to them!”

God was wonderful to us; we are one happy

people.

4 And now, God, do it again – bring rains to

Our drought-stricken lives

5 So those who planted their crops in despair

Will shout hurrahs at the harvest.

6 So those who went off with heavy hearts will

come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.

-Psalm 126 – (paraphrased)
