By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. There on the poplars we hung our harps, for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. "Tear it down," they cried, "tear it down to its foundations!"
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us--he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
How can we sing to the Lord when we are in captivity? The Psalmist say, how can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land? Reading Psalm 137, it is like trying to remember the Lord and not forget Him even when we faced so much difficulties and persecutions…
One thing that I learn from the Lord today, that is to never forget Him. The Lord is my Vindication and He is my Protector!!! He will restore me and He shall be my greatest joy… because His love for me endures forever!!!
I love my Jesus, I love my Lord, I love my God!!!
PS… I will be away for the YouthNet 144 Re-Encounter until Monday… Hence, I am posting my devotions ahead as I would not be around… May it bring blessings to all who reads it… God Bless!!!
