Life Filled with Laughter and Joyful Shouting

[S] Psalm 126:2 --
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter
And our tongue with joyful shouting;
Then they said among the nations,
``The LORD has done great things for them."

[O] Wow!  This is a true picture of a true worship by the people recognizing how great God's works are in the midst of them.  Without this recognition our worship can easily be just a ritualistic events because God is left out of the picture.  God is left out when we do not see what He is doing and that leads to not rejoicing with laughter and joyful shouting.

[A] Every day, I need to "count my blessings" and to "rejoice over what God is working in and through" my life.  Without such a practice, my relationship with God will be dead.

[P] Dear Father, I gladly rejoice for what You are doing in my and my family members' lives.  You're continuously working to mold us and to prepare for future ministries You designed for us to participate in. May this laughter, joyful shouting of my tongue be the fuel for my spiritual life.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
