They were joyous (Psalm 126:2).&nbsp;God\u2019s people were back in the land where they longed to be only because of God\u2019s intervention (Psalm 126:3-4).  All the happiness they experienced did not come overnight.&nbsp;For many years, countless prayers were offered to God to receive that for which they longed. Many tears and broken, sincere hearts bombarded the throne room of God for what they were now enjoying.&nbsp;In God\u2019s timing, they reaped from the prayers, patience, and trust they put in Him. \u201cThey that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.\u201d Psalm 126:5-6  Life can be rough. I cannot imagine getting through its speed bumps and ruts that happen along the way without God\u2019s help and protection. When faced with trials, most Christians offer supplications unto the Lord.&nbsp;  Often, the requests are not answered right away.&nbsp;Sometimes, there needs to be changes in the prayer\u2019s life or in the troublesome situation before God intervenes. At times, God\u2019s answer may be, \u201cWait, it\u2019s not time yet,\u201d&nbsp;or \u201cNo, it\u2019s not what I have for you.\u201d Praise the Lord for the clear answers, but whatever His answer, He knows best.&nbsp;  Whatever the prayer outcome, you will get answers. Although you may not like His response, trust that God knows better than you.&nbsp;What you desire may harm you more than help. Be patient and willing to accept the open or closed doors when God works in your life. \u201cConfess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.\u201d James 5:16  Today\u2019s Thought:&nbsp; \u201cLord, help me eat more heartedly at your table, and more sparingly at mine!\u201d \u2014 Author Unknown  Words to Understand: Zion: Jerusalem  Today\u2019s Reading: Psalm 126 1 A Song of degrees.
