Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting. One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. --- Psalm 126:5-6 NASB Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed But they sing as they return with the harvest. --- Psalm 126:5-6 NLT God’s ability to restore life is beyond our understanding. Forests burndown and are able to grow back. Broken bones heal. Even grief is not a permanent condition. Our tears can be seeds that will grow into a harvest of joy because God is able to bring good out of tragedy. When burdened by sorrow, know that your times of grief will end and that you will again find joy. We must be patient as we wait. God’s great harvest of joy is coming! --- Life Application Study Bible notes Cross reference: Galatians 6:9 Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up. --- this is an example of travailing (birthing) prayer.
