Many of us can recall moments when we were overjoyed because the Lord had miraculously provided for our needs. Such moments are frequently referred regarded as "mountaintop experiences."
But life also has its dark and challenging valleys. When this happens, we can give ourselves a boost by thinking back on the past and using our triumphant moments to propel us forward. They can give us hope that the same God who helped us back then won't let us down now.
In the reading from the Bible for today, the psalmist did that. He told about the delight the Israelites experienced when God miraculously delivered them, and then he prayed for God to show mercy once more.
In doing so, he expressed his desire for blessing through two images. During a downpour, dry gullies in the desert would suddenly turn into streams (Psalm 126:4). The second was about the peaceful, gradual fruit that comes from diligent sowing and reaping (vv. 5–6).
Our future needs will be met because of God's past faithfulness. It's wise to keep that in mind.
