Sermon Outline:

Two Things You Should Do When Discouraged — Turning our Tears to Joy (Psalm 126:1-6, ESV)

• Marvel at God's Past Victories (Psalm 126:1-3)

A SONG OF ASCENTS.
​¹ When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
² Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
³ The LORD has done great things for us;
we are glad.

• Trust God to do it again (Psalm 126:4-6)

⁴ Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like streams in the Negeb!
⁵ Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
⁶ He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
