My God of Great Deeds: Rev Peter Ameadaji

“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.” (Psalm 126:2) Communication experts tell us that:   • Every day the average person speaks enough to fill twenty  single-spaced, typewritten pages.  • This means that every month, the average person reels out enough words  to fill two books of three hundred pages.  • Every year, the average person reels out enough words to fill  twenty-four books. Question: These findings got me thinking – If the books of all that I say are  published: • What story will they tell? • Will I be proud of the content?  • What will be my reaction as the books are read out to everyone?  So, the kinds of words we use are important.  The Psalmist in acknowledgement of God’s great deeds as expressed in  verses 1 & 2 of Psalm 126 responded in verse 3 as follows: “The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”  Psalm 126:3  The psalmist’s mouth was filled with praise when he wrote Psalm 126.  The  Lord had done great things for him and his people. Even the nations  around them noticed.  Remembering God’s blessings, he said, “Our mouths were filled with  laughter, our tongues with songs of joy” v. 2 If you were to write verse 3 of Psalm 126, what would it look like?
