Weeping Willows

Weeping Willows

Ps. 137: 1 - 2

By the rivers of Babylon [enemy territory], there we [as captives] sat down [gave up hope],

yes, WE WEPT [our emotions overpowered us] when we REMEMBERED ZION [the city of our God imprinted on our hearts].

On the WILLOW TREES in the midst [of enemy territory] we HUNG OUR HARPS [once used to accompany the songs of praise and the service of God].

Pray the Word:

Lord, there are times we, too, feel like we’re trapped in the middle of enemy territory with no way out. We want to just go & sit down in our misery & cry. We seem to have lost our song & have HUNG OUR HARPS on the willow tree [of weeping].  How quick we are to soon forget that no matter where we find ourselves – You are there! . . . and we have a song to sing! Let’s get our harps of praise back in our hands today and let’s sing again!
