Like Men Who Dreamed...

When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Ps 126.1-2

I read this passage today and found it captivating. Being released from captivity had given these men the space to dream, laugh and sing. No longer was their future unknown, nor their time preoccupied with worry. They were free; set free by the King and brought back to a refuge, Zion. It was beautiful as I pondered it, and then watched as God made it relevant to my life. Worry, stress and 'captivity' keeps me from laughter, singing and dreaming, yet He is faithful to bring me back. To set me free, and allow me to be like those who dream...
