Psalm 126:1-3

Take a moment to recall a time when your sport dreams were realized.  Perhaps it was a championship won, a rival beaten or an individual award achieved.  The Bible shares a poetic look at dreams fulfilled in today’s scripture.

Psalm 126 and verses 1 through 3 reads, “When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed.  Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.  Then it was said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.  The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

The writer remembered returning home after a long absence.  It was almost too good to believe, like a dream.  He remembered the laughter and the joyful singing of his friends and family.  The people from surrounding countries were amazed.  Even more, he remembered the source of these blessings.

It’s so much fun for us to see our dreams fulfilled and our goals achieved.  Our mouths are filled with laughter and we exult in every victory.  Those who watch you compete even join in the fun.  Occasionally we’ll even remember to thank the ultimate source of all that’s good… God.

During today’s competition, give your best effort to see your dreams fulfilled and your goals achieved.  Don’t be surprised when people comment like they did in the psalm, “The Lord has done great things for them.”  You can echo their comment in grateful prayer with a wide grin on your face.
