(Nuggets from Psalm 126:1-2)
This was a typical definition of DREAMY REALITY.
Zion (Israel) was in captivity as a result of their sins but suddenly, God gave them a PLEASANT SURPRISE, God sent them into captivity, not as dross is put into the fire to be consumed, but as gold to be refined.
The return of the Jewish exiles from captivity in Babylon was surreal. They never saw it coming, but because God's ways are past finding out, He showed them mercy when they least expected it.
Surprisingly, it was a Persian King, Cyrus that orchestrated this deliverance. He passed a decree allowing them to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple, as recorded by Ezra and Nehemiah.
The Jews returned from exile after 70 years of captivity, servitude, pain and despondency. The 'SUDDEN' DELIVERANCE seemed too miraculous after decades of suffering.
The laughter and songs of joy were nothing short of a sharp contrast with the sorrow they experienced in Babylon whilst in exile (see Psalm 137), where they wept by the rivers of Babylon.
Even the heathen were witnesses to this awesome turnaround in their lives as they proclaimed:
"The Lord has done great things for them".
This DELIVERANCE of the Israelites is a testament of God's faithfulness and how He uses everything to work out His divine purpose, effortlessly turning sorrow into joy.
Just as the year is winding up gradually, you may have experienced terrible situations that could be likened to the captivity of the Jews in Babylon. You may be in some sort of exile presently, but God's word to you today is: "DO NOT DESPAIR."
God specializes in making impossible things possible.
It doesn't matter how bad the year 2025 was for you, just remain optimistic and keep hope alive, because SUDDENLY, GOD WILL TURN THINGS AROUND FOR YOUR GOOD.
YOU WILL BE LIKE THEM THAT DREAM, YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE A GAME-CHANGING RESTORATION IN YOUR LIFE JUST AT THE NICK OF TIME, RIGHT BEFORE THE YEAR 2025 ENDS.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
DAY 361 OF 365 🔥
