Grace
Psalm 126 says that the Israelites’ mouths were filled with laughter and their tongues with joy. Then, the nations around them saw the blessing and were saying, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
The people of God responded, “The Lord has done great things for us; we are joyful.”
The blessings and the source will become apparent to others and us.
Are you aware of how many great things God has done in your life? How faithful has the Lord been to you? If God never did another thing for you, He has already done too much.
That is a whole different worldview, is it not? If God never did another thing for me, besides releasing me, not from Babylonian captivity, but from the weight of my sin, He has already done too much. I have been set free by Him! Yet, from His abundant love, I receive one gracious blessing after another.
And now He has given me the ability to dream, to think, and to be a part of what His plan is and say, “Lord, You will do great things through me.”
Can you say it out loud? “The Lord has done great things for me.”
Now close your eyes and say it to the Lord: “Lord You have done great things for me, and I am filled with joy.”
One of our ministries in Asia rescues young girls from the brothels where their moms are prostitutes. If these little girls do not get out, they will end up in the same vocation as their moms. They are trapped. The moms give the girls up for adoption, and this group takes them and adopts them as their own. They help them with school and with everything.
Once we visited this place and one of these girls began to tell us “thank you,” because she, who has been rescued from a brothel and whose mom is a prostitute, is going to go to college at a university in the United States of America.
When I think about her, I see “a joyful dreamer.” As she cried, we cried, and then the other girls who are not going to the United States cried with her, hugged her, and celebrated that she was going.
That is dreaming, that is working, and that is saying, “The Lord has done great things for me.”

God can do amazing, incredible things in your life. His dreams have to become our dreams. Psalm 126 says that when the people of God knew they were free, they were filled with laughter and joy. The greatest joy and laughter you can experience is when you get to be a part of God’s dreams. Keep dreaming of what God can do.
