Psalm 137

It only took a minute to read this psalm. This is a song written in captivity. A song that speaks of the difficult circumstances where the believer found himself; taken violently away from his home and mockingly asked to sing the songs that he learned growing up. Those song bring no joy only the reminder that he is far away from the inheritence God had promised Abraham's children. Many Christians today could view their circumstances the same as tha exiled Jew. We see a sin-broke world that seeks to steal our joy. A society that mock our songs of hope; calling them the words of a foolish group of empty headed dreamers. We can faun for the past or live for the future. I believe that God wants us to live out our hope in God regardless of the circumstances.
