Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy

Psalm 126:1-6

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. 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.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.

dream: men restored to health.

Restore our fortunes: bring back our captives.

Why?
The real joy is the Lord restored us to health and brought back our captives. 

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Keep working with the Lord and trust in the Lord, the reap with songs of joy is no one can compare.

流淚撒種的，必歡呼收割！

來到主面前該思想主曾經在我們身上賜下的恩典

1)回憶曾經的復興： 70年的被擄等待，終於歸回耶路撒冷。當人認為沒有可能復興的可能時，復興忽然來到。v2.外邦中就有人說：耶和華為他們行了大事！（不認識耶和華的外邦人說的)。透過外邦人的口，神的名被彰顯！

2)求未來的復興： v4 求你使我們被擄的人歸回，好像南地的河水復流。也可以解釋為求你使我們從苦境中(靈裏的不是肉體的被擄）。以色列地愈南邊是愈乾燥的，北邊多雨是好的牧場。南地是沙漠中是不可能有水。神是在沙漠中開江河的神！

3)v5-6 相信復興一定會來到：撒種為何流淚?在一種完全沒有希望的地方撒種！看不見希望下撒種!甚至有人譏笑！即在艱難的環境中依然工作，相信神必成就!

Let me return with songs of joy and remember the Lord has done great things for us.
