"The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy."
Psalm 126:3
I lost my watch this morning, somewhere between my house, the car, and the grocery store. Pulling in to church a few minutes later, I checked my wrist for the time, only to discover the watch was gone. It was gift from my husband for our tenth anniversary so I was more than a little concerned. After a frantic search, the friendly folks at the grocery’s courtesy counter placed it safely back in my hands.
There is always great joy when something that’s been lost is found again. Today was no different. But it was a watch. A beautiful watch that is deeply meaningful to me, but a watch nonetheless. Sometimes I need to be reminded just how attached I am to His gifts, rather than to Him.
“When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like men who dreamed” (Psalm 126:1). It was too good to be true! They had lost everything, now it was being found again. Those who witnessed it marveled and exclaimed: “the Lord has done great things for them” (Psalm 126:2).
He’s done great things for us too, and we are filled with joy.
