Singing the songs of Zion after its loss is where many people are today. Deep inside they have lost their reason for joy, and the world around them keeps asking them to sing. If you feel that loss, know that all is not lost. There is hope, because the God of Zion is still here. He has not left us without hope. But if you feel a deep sadness, and you have known the LORD, but you feel like you are just going through the motions now, circumstances have stolen your joy. Don’t pretend. Ask God to intervene, and restore your joy.
LORD, intervene. Restore the joy of our deliverance!
Psalm 137
