Bringing In The Sheaves

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtFVgeLg8Is

The chapter below and the two verses from the B'rit Hadashah (New Testament) have ministered to me, the emphasis is mine. Our God is good!

Psalm 126 NIV Version
A song of ascents.
1 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."

3 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like streams in the Negev.

5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.

6 He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.


God's faithfulness ensures that we do not labor in vain, we return with a bountiful harvest. Like Rabbi Kefa wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) - 1 Kefa 5:10-11 (Complete Jewish Bible)

You will have to suffer only a little while; after that, God, who is full of grace, the One Who called you to His eternal glory in union with the Messiah, will Himself restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm. To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
