The Bible reading
Psalm 126
Today's Reading (KJV): Psalm 126
1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
The West Coast Bible Study group discussed Psalm 126, focusing on the historical context of the Jewish return from Babylonian exile in 538 BC. The study highlighted the psalm's dual nature as a song of thanksgiving for past deliverance and a plea for present restoration. Participants noted the metaphor of the Negev desert, where sudden flash floods transform dry land, illustrating the need for God's refreshing power in current difficult times.
The discussion connected the biblical text to the recent election results, with many members expressing disappointment but finding comfort in the belief that God is in control. The group emphasized that just as the exiles experienced a dreamlike rescue, believers today can look back at God's past faithfulness to find confidence for the future. The agricultural metaphor of sowing in tears and reaping in joy was used to encourage perseverance through current trials.
Members shared personal testimonies of how God has led them through hardships, reinforcing the idea that the Bible serves as a guidebook for navigating life's adversities. The study concluded with a reminder to maintain faith and share the gospel, noting that difficult times often drive people to seek hope in God's word.

8:09is fine and let's see what's going on this morning with that kg6j from ak6 okay thank you jeff kg6j
8:18reading psalm 126 from the new king jay when the lord brought back the captivity of zion we were like
8:29those who dreamed then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongues with singing
8:36then they said among the nations the lord has done great things for them the lord has done great things
8:44for us whereof we were glad bring back our captivity oh lord as the streams in the south those who sow in
8:55tears shall reap in joy he who continually goes forth weeping bearing seed for sowing shall doubtless come
9:06again with rejoicing bringing his sheath with him uh psalm 126 uh change a 6j back to you jeff
9:20thank you so much uh jerry for reading that well this sounds like some joyous stuff here uh any comments
9:28on this so far this morning uh kb7 is that extent you go ahead kevin yeah just to set the scene a little
9:39bit here it's probably fed best fits uh the return from the exile the first wave if you will the first
9:47return in 538 bc when king cyrus made the decree and uh they were led back to jerusalem uh under
9:57zerubbabel and it was uh described then too as kind of bewilderment that like they were in a daze it was
10:07uh it was hard you know kind of in a way they couldn't believe that they were actually going back so
10:13uh we see here a kind of a a psalm of thanksgiving at the same time of the first few verses and and then
10:23uh of all that god has done but then a psalm uh describing looking forward hope and uh what's
10:33ahead and god's work ahead with them kb7 is that acceptable yes that's for sure and and this uh i was
10:42fascinated with the part about a dreamlike rescue uh i i do read commentaries on most of these uh psalms
10:51that we're reading uh this this talks about the one i'm reading right now it talks about the psalm
10:56opens uh by recalling the monumental moment of deliverance traditionally linked to the return of
11:02the jewish exiles uh from babylonian captivity the joy was so sudden and massive it felt like an
11:09unbelievable dream and uh the laughter and witness the people's mouths filled with laughter and songs of
11:16joy even surrounding nations noticed and declared declared the lord has done great things for them
11:25the community replies the lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy and even with
11:33some of the election results you may not agree with last night um we need to have joy we need to look
11:40behind us again and uh and realize what god has done for us already uh from uh and and the older i get
11:47the more i realize what god has done for us uh doggone my wife and i have lived a fantastic life
11:54um and verse four uh the ongoing need the tongue shifts from celebration to a present plea restore our
12:03fortunes lord like streams and negev um and a little comment on that one the negev is a dry parched
12:11desert south of judah where sudden rushing flash floods can transform a dead landscape into a living
12:18river uh the psalmist acknowledges that past rescues does not mean life is easy now they still desperately
12:26need god's refreshing power in the present um you know some of us uh we've got to think about that
12:33that that's uh something interesting to think about just because god has bailed us out in the past
12:39is he going to bail us out of the future something to think about you guys any other comments go ahead
12:44and verse five and six uh those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy and uh it's got a
13:04metaphor here about a farmer a farmer who goes out weeping to scatter precious seed in hard ground does not
13:10feed the instant harvest it requires patient exhausting and cheerful labor yet the psalm ends with a rock
13:19solid promise they will return with shouts of joy carrying heavy sheaves of harvest
13:27god has got this under control anybody else go ahead ak6 okay for the west coast bible study
13:40kly go ahead good morning again george yeah good morning and good morning all the nets just checked
13:50on so this is uh just one of the many lessons in the bible that teaches us how to deal with adversity um
13:57i think god will stay with us as long as we stay with him the countries that have turned their back on
14:03them and uh it hasn't been good for them so we plan on staying the course on that um how to deal with
14:12trials and tribulations there's so much of it focused on on the bible it's just fascinating that
14:18every day we learn the bible is the handbook how to get through things in life over
14:23okay there we go yeah absolutely um and it is our guidebook uh it is it is the operating manual for
14:38the human beings right uh that's gosh that's the way it is i was fascinated like you can't don't see it
14:44here but um about how it talks about where other countries are seeing what's going on here
14:51oh where did i read that hold on a second i get lost really quick you guys um where other countries
14:58even see what's going on here and realize who god is um yeah god the lord has done great things for
15:05them the community replies the lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy
15:11um and we should all be filled with joy you know my wife broke her wrist lately
15:17and we both actually went through some some thoughts of why would god let this happen
15:24but she's healing up quickly and this is just going to be another testimony in our lives which is
15:30it's really cool gives you another part of your story and uh it's going to end up being really really
15:37well and folks god's got control of this country too um the results of the of the uh voting yesterday
15:47makes me want to move out of our state but i tell you what i still think about that and uh and wonder
15:55can you escape all this anyway i don't think so i think it's it's going to be wherever you go
16:00anyway 86 okay for the west coast bible study any further comments go ahead
16:11pwm pwm go ahead
16:18yeah just just like when i checked in this morning um i have to read psalm 2
16:25on mornings like this um and other days and same thing up here in washington i sometimes want to move
16:34out of the state but when i start to look around it doesn't matter and it's not really good anywhere
16:45and basically i just have to read psalm 2 because it calms me down
16:51it reminds me that the lord has a plan the lord's in charge and um i'm having my robot right now make
17:00me a political yard sign that says jesus psalm 2
17:08that will be a great reminder when people drive by oh my gosh maybe we'll read psalm 2 in a second
17:14um i'm gonna read psalm 126 from the message and i've learned a lot being a part of the west coast
17:21bible study uh i used to really rely on the message um and uh and we're right back to which version of
17:30the bible is the best version and uh and that turns out to be the one that people read uh and uh so let me
17:38read this it might give you a different perspective uh verse one it seemed like a dream too good to be
17:43true when god returned zion's exiles we laughed we sang we couldn't believe our good fortune we were
17:51the talk of the nations god was wonderful to them god was wonderful to us we are one happy people
17:59and now god do it again bring rains to our drought-stricken lives so those who planted their crops
18:06in despair will shout yes at the harvest so those who went off with heavy hearts will come back
18:13home laughing with arm loads of blessing that's pretty clear that uh that that's a pretty good
18:21description of what this psalm is all about any other any other uh comments on this over jb7 zedixson
18:30kevin go ahead well you know um you know this really is i think it's a good song for us today
18:42because it is a psalm of perspective and uh uh you know god will prevail and god will endure and we know
18:54even as we see in this psalm through adversity god has his plan and yet they they have still some
19:02pretty tough uh challenges and struggles ahead their enemies have not given up by any means
19:09here but as the second half of the text tells us here too those that sow in tears will reap in joy
19:17and you know it's not an easy road to be a follower of god and he never promised us to be you know it to
19:25be a rose garden or uh you know just uh all uh all sweet smells and good times um it's uh but we do have
19:36our work cut out for us i think we'll see uh i don't know what the comment was earlier but uh we'll see some
19:42chaos ensue ahead of us here in our nation we'll see uh the the devil um uh having some victories and
19:52and thinking that uh he's and and and sadly there'll be a lot of damage done i'm afraid to our nation
20:00but regardless our marching orders haven't changed our marching orders are to be faithful to him
20:07to be faithful to one another to be faithful to our families and and uh to be faithful with our again
20:14our marching orders is to share the good news to make disciples and to grow his kingdom of god here
20:22and because i'll tell you now as we as things unfold um and as the challenges surmount uh people are
20:32going to feel the need for hope more than ever and we have that message of hope here in in his word
20:43in psalm one and in psalm two and in psalm 126 here too and uh and and you know so one day yeah there'll
20:52be a restoration and uh and as described here it may catch us a little surprised we might not quite
21:00feel like we're completely ready for it but uh but let us not lose hope and lose faith uh because we know
21:10that god and his providence uh will uh prevail and this really is a psalm of hope uh recognition
21:19that god has done and is doing in present tense there and also that the hope in god though though they
21:28have struggle and have struggle and challenges and many uh face many enemies ahead uh god's plan will
21:35come to fruition kb7 is that example
21:40well thank you good perspective for sure and yes this does definitely look back in history that's
21:47what all the laughter was about and the joy was all about they were looking back and saying you know
21:54what we're the talk of the nations god was wonderful to them and we laughed we sang we couldn't believe
21:59our good fortune and uh that will be that will be returning uh and we we do have to instead of walking
22:08around in sorrow we have to remember what has god done for us in the past who is god and uh and my life
22:17unbelievable and i i sing it to the mountaintops all the time i'm actually speaking to a
22:22rotary club tomorrow about my entire life and i cautioned them on the way in and i said you guys
22:29i gotta tell you that i'm a lover of jesus and i'm going to tell everybody about it at this meeting
22:34and uh the response i got was very interesting they said bring it on it's great this is good okay
22:43and then i i also need prayers and and al you can uh write this one down i am going to um our publisher
22:50in chicago on the 11th i'm going to be in their um uh their chapel service there'll be about 100
22:58employees of that company uh tendale house publishers and i'm going to be in a q a session
23:06with one of their people who have worked with me for about 20 years and uh we're going to be talking
23:10about the history of operation worship how it started with uh launching monkeys out of a cannon and
23:15turned into a a pretty major bible ministry uh one of the few that are left with the military um gosh as
23:24far as we can tell right now uh the lord has turned this into uh operation worship being one of the only
23:30ministries that uh that gives bibles to the military anymore uh most of them have fallen off and i'm i'm
23:37just amazed that a bonehead like me is in the middle of this one uh this wasn't my idea even so
23:45god just was a great provider a great encourager and we've and part of the questioning is going to go on
23:53is this hasn't been all roses what have you guys gone through in the past 20 years to get this to keep
24:01happening and get two and a half million bibles deployed and uh it's been a rough story at times
24:09but as we're talking about here in 126 we've been through lots and lots and lots of joy and we've
24:16been through some big big miseries as well uh but god's got this thing under control and i think we can
24:24apply that to what's going on in you know about this election and and our hearts being a little heavy
24:30this morning um how about this at the very last year so those who went off with heavy hearts
24:38that could be a lot of us this morning will come out laughing with arm loads of blessing
24:43uh does that resonate with anybody over
24:50kd7 yqt kb7 yqt good morning again uh good morning jeff yeah just a just a comment
25:00i love up here in washington which of course is um you know i know we're not supposed to get super
25:05political here but uh blue state uh which uh we are not my wife and i and she was watching she really
25:13watches the election results and she was pretty uh you know disappointed in what she was seeing and
25:20almost to the point of um of tears and i said i said to her i said look i said we have to
25:27look to the lord i said nothing is taking him by surprise he's not surprised by the results and he
25:34is ultimately the one in our life that um that we need to uh lean on and um i said um you know it's uh
25:44man it's not going to fix these problems i don't care what party it is uh you know they're not going
25:51to fix all these problems um and i said what's the worst that could happen i mean the worst possible
25:58outcome that could happen is is we end up we end up dead okay we end up dead well if we're dead
26:05we're with the lord and the lord as you know if you look throughout scripture uh has always protected
26:12his people sometimes yeah he's taking them home okay but there's other times where even if there was
26:19just a small remnant left he would protect his people and i've got to believe that in the united
26:26states of america there are righteous people are trying to be righteous many who are on this net right
26:32now and so uh i just take great comfort and that he is in charge and that he is the one running things
26:39as you have all pointed out and i take great comfort in that regardless of um of what the election
26:47results are uh kd7yqt back to net okay scott yeah very well said um and and i'm in total agreement
26:58you know even though all of this is going on you will find that there's an awful lot of people
27:04turning to the lord right now uh i'm part of a church that we uh on an online church uh elevation
27:11church out of north carolina they have literally hundreds of thousands of people that are are
27:17attending that via uh video every week and it's incredible from all over the world it's it's crazy
27:26what what's going on people are coming to jesus all over the place and i think some of the
27:31you know we talk about not getting too political well there's nothing wrong with that in this particular
27:36case as far as i'm concerned it's the reality what's going on around this but uh as you look
27:42at all of this and and people are in some some types of despair this morning and kind of we all
27:48kind of expected this too i think but um no matter what you think uh there's a lot of people coming to
27:54the lord as a result of this kind of stuff so is any of this good well it might be it might be a lot
28:00this might be bringing more people to the lord people who are in a bit of a despair and a bit of
28:06a funk and life is not good for them boy that drives people to jesus and uh especially when they
28:13start reading the bible uh it's it's it's such a revelation to people to people looking and look and
28:19see history and figure out this is not something new all this has been going on for thousands of years
28:25uh we're just still going through it so anyway west coast bible study any more comments uh or
28:33concerns this morning go ahead observation n6 tmi dan you're always good for a great observation go ahead
28:43you know i was just uh thinking about uh everything that's going on in uh in psalms here and i was just
28:50happy to remember the fact that uh there's been twice in the bible well at least twice maybe more
28:58that uh god has basically done a reset um when when they uh when they left egypt uh they had to they had
29:07to endure the uh the desert for 40 years um basically resetting the generations and then uh again uh the
29:17israel uh they uh ended up uh being captured by the babylonians and spent 70 years in captivity another
29:25reset um i i i thought that was kind of interesting that uh that they uh they keep getting these resets
29:33oh and no wonder they were joyous i mean a lot of these people didn't even know jerusalem existed uh almost
29:40because you know it's been 70 years yeah man and the big reset of course is the days of noah and the ark
29:52when the lord flooded the entire or you know god flooded the entire earth and said man talk about a
29:57reset we're gonna push the button and hold it uh for four seconds to let the whole thing shut down and
30:04start over again i did it and i agree and is it reset coming i think it sure is uh how it's going to
30:12play out i don't know if i will be able to witness that in my life hopefully i'm uh in heaven with the
30:18rest of our family um but we're going to find out you know the bible is is so amazing from the standpoint
30:25that if you read when you read the bible you realize we're in this right now this is not just
30:31old history this is going on as we speak and uh it's going to be fascinating to watch
30:39anyway thanks dan for that comment perfect i love having you jumping in here
30:44and uh how about you other guys out there what do what do we got for comments this morning uh we're
30:48gonna be wrapping this up pretty quick ak6 okay rockland uh got you uh joe and uh joe hang on one
30:59second roger go ahead well i just kind of thought that i would uh read the passage in galatians that
31:08my margin asked us to look at in reference to this agricultural metaphor that we have before us over
31:19go ahead roger do it
31:20uh this is uh i'm going to read the paragraph the galatians chapter six where paul is summarizing
31:30and this is where paul he he said don't be deceived you know uh at the very beginning of the book by false
31:40gospels but here it is in verse six and let let let the one who is taught the word share all
31:49good things with him who teaches and it reminds me kind of like of the west coast bible study
31:56where we're we're sharing with our mentor and we have a back and forth uh and at verse seven do not be
32:07deceived god is not mocked for whatever a man sows this he will also reap
32:17in verse eight for the one who sows to his own flesh and i take it that's kind of like our selfish and
32:26natural self shall from the flesh reap corruption but the one who sows to the spirit shall from the spirit
32:38reap eternal life and reap eternal life let us not lose heart in doing good for in due time
32:47he shall reap if we do not grow weary so then while we have opportunity let us do good to all men especially
32:58those who are those who are of the household of faith talking about the the wonderful privileges of being
33:05part of a of a local church and yeah we've got plenty to do don't we wb7vzl that makes sense
33:15yeah very good uh zach's hand uh kevin hang on one second we got joe in here uh go ahead joe
33:24ki6wxp yeah it's like every day more and more i i feel something weird coming on it's something
33:32different you know all my life i've walked along with the lord just i mean always in my head constantly
33:38and i'm one of them guys you know i never find my way to church as often as i should
33:43but i just know what's going on inside me and what i feel and i see it people are just coming to the
33:49lord left and right people are getting scared man and uh and you know there's folks out there that are
33:57that are not quite there they they worry about everything everything happens for a reason in my eyes
34:02i see like the other day we we grenaded a funny car a race car it blew up everybody's going oh man
34:09this and this and they're carrying on and having a bad time about it the owner of the car wasn't
34:16neither was i i'm thinking to myself this thing blew up because it was a good running car the deck the
34:22very next run may have very well killed like my son he was a driver and so god prevented that next
34:31run from happening it it's like all these uh these folks that got elected in they must be coming in
34:36there for a reason yeah so just don't worry about anything that's the best thing to do it's all going
34:44to work out in the end k-i-6-w-x-p yeah uh great observation joe you know don't get discouraged
34:53and uh keep on walking the way we're supposed to be walking uh i think paul reminds us of that
35:01keep keep uh keep your focus where it belongs uh kevin kb7 zxn go ahead kb7 zxn well and i really
35:12appreciate everyone's thoughts and sentiments and um i really especially appreciate the fact that the
35:18the focus is on on our uh our god our savior and and that he ultimately is in control and roger
35:26i especially appreciate the fact that uh yeah this is because what roger really pointed out is this is
35:35the spiritual warfare that we always deal with and no matter the political landscape that we find
35:41ourselves in as we've seen the lord's churches in the first century and through pretty much every
35:48century since uh have hostility toward it we see it this today in many other uh nations and lands
35:56around us where uh the persecution and execution is real and uh um torture and and uh genocide is real
36:09uh and in hostility well sadly i'm afraid we're going to see that probably increase as we see the islamists
36:16being in power the the marxists those groups that are antithetical to to believers to to christians
36:24but nevertheless that doesn't diminish a bit who who we serve who are ambassadors for and like i said
36:32our marching orders and and and the perspective is you know i think uh exactly right we we are to be
36:40sowing the seed of the gospel and uh strengthening one another uh because not only galatians 6 i think is
36:49relevant uh ephesians chapter 6 2 let us put on the full armor of god know that our hope is in him he is in
36:58ultimately in control despite our circumstances uh uh we in him he does not give us a spirit of fear
37:06but of hope and a sound mind so let's go forward in faith and strength and our message hasn't changed
37:14uh but uh the uh the need for that message to be uh shared certainly i think has maybe increased
37:23is uh more than ever kb7 is that example
37:26uh yeah kevin thanks for that uh perspective uh it's great great to remember keep our focus
37:36uh uh straight and uh i think it was jerry is that you uh jerry uh that was will
37:43okay m5s go ahead will yeah uh kevin mentioned the armor of god they want to note that the
37:54end of the armor of god in phasians 6 18 it says um pray with all prayer and petition pray at all times
38:03in the spirit and with this in view be on alert with all perseverance and petition for all things
38:09pray always we need to continue to pray and not stop and not give up hope okay m5s that's correct
38:18and uh we all have to remember ephesians 6 also uh and the uh the armor of god that we've been
38:25provided with you know one other great reminder before we wrap it up uh when we first started
38:31deploying bibles the first shipment that we sent out was 25 000 bibles and it went to fort hood texas and
38:38they were deploying a massive number of folks uh to the middle east for a pretty big conflict at that
38:45time and we ran out of bibles we sent 25 000 out of there they used them up in a week and i had to
38:52ask the question how many of what percentage of of these soldiers picked the bible up we they stuck
39:00them on the tarmac on a pallet and and because in the military it's illegal to hand a bible to somebody
39:06if you can believe that but it is uh but they can grab one if there's one there and uh they said 99
39:13of these young people grabbed a bible on their way out um you guys this is this sort of like being
39:20scared straight right you you have no idea where you're going they don't tell them necessarily where
39:26they're going but they know that their life is in major danger wherever they go they want to have the
39:33word of god with them and that was a big eye-opener for me and i don't believe that's changed uh when
39:39we send bibles out in bulk like we do um i gotta believe the numbers are very similar so people know
39:46who god is he's written himself on everybody's heart and everybody knows that when things when when the
39:53going gets gets rough god's the one to be hanging with any more comments this morning ak6 okay thanks
40:00you guys for all your comments this morning n7 cye reno yes sir you sound better now uh the band is
40:09changing too uh go ahead henry sounds like it might have another swr thing going henry go ahead and
40:24we'll hang with you here go ahead uh can you hear me now uh not a bunch of improvement but i do hear you
40:32go ahead okay i just want to talk about oh cool my swr is up again i want to comment about uh the
40:38handing out of bibles that's for a servicemen only uh citizens can hand out bibles uh they're not
40:44subject to the uh uh rules of the military at all amen absolutely right uh what what henry said is is
40:55you know we can all hand out bibles i'll tell you you can stand on the street and hand out bibles if you
40:59want to there's no regulations there uh in the military there is we we abide by all of that uh
41:06but great commentary you're right and we should and uh i think it's a great thing to do so uh grab
41:13some bibles you guys we started out our ministry by doing that my wife had this uh burden on her heart
41:19to provide bibles to little churches and so she would buy bibles cases of them and send them to places
41:25like yosemite there's a little tiny chapel in yosemite and we were there one time and noticed
41:30there were no bibles and so she supplied bibles to them for a long time so we can certainly do that
41:36all right let's wrap her up any other comments and before we get to prayer and any other prayer concerns go
41:41ahead okay and play this uh will go ahead what was henry's call sign uh what was his call sign and was
41:51that uh henry's uh n7tyv uh tom yankee victory in uh reno thank you you are certainly welcome any other
42:03comments or concerns this morning and happy wednesday kg6j hey there you go jerry good morning again
42:15good morning so i i'm hearing a lot of us and rightfully so that we're brokenhearted over
42:25what's happened overnight and it almost feels like like the children of israel living in a foreign country
42:33like we're living in a foreign country now a country that started out based on christian principles
42:40and this is no accident for us to be here the lord knows what's going on so our encouragement
42:47this morning is to continue to be that light in the midst of all the wickedness here i'm reminded uh
42:54after looking at the results uh uh i don't know the address but it's from the book of judges i think
43:01and that is they did what was right in their own sight well that's not what we do we're to be a light
43:08to the world in the midst of this wickedness so there you go kg6j back to you jack amen okay thank you so
43:18much uh jerry you're absolutely right we need to be a light and you know if god has put us all in the
43:25position we're in to be able to to give our testimonies during times like this when people
43:31get uh discouraged about what's going on but god's got full control of what's happening here and uh you
43:38guys know the end of the story we all do we're we become winners and we already are all right any
43:44appropriate concerns before we wrap it up today uh and when when appropriate i'll turn it back over to
