Scripture Reading 

Psalm 126

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 126:2b

“The LORD did great things for them.”

Reflect

Verses 1-3 recall the time of Israel’s return from Babylonian exile (538 B.C.). What is being remembered? What is being asked of God in verses 4 and 5? How many times does the word “joy” appear in this psalm? What will be your song of joy today?

Pray

Sovereign God, I sing for joy because of your mighty deeds. Remind me of all the great things you have done. I thank and praise you for your steadfast love and care. Amen.
