Here were the questions from Psalm 126 that we studied a few weeks ago:
Psalm 126 -- A song of ascents.
1. Many scholars agree that Psalm 126 describes the Israelites when they were set free from Babylonian captivity and allowed to return to Jerusalem. From the first three verses, what kinds of things did they feel and experience?
2. Share a good time remembered from your own life when you knew God was at work.
3. How did Peter’s experience in Acts 12:3-11 parallel the exiles in Psalm 126:1-3? Have you ever experienced something almost too good to be true? Describe a situation when God did something that you could hardly believe and knew you didn’t deserve.
4. Reading through the rest of the Psalm, share something you’re hoping God will yet accomplish in your life.
5. Looking at verses 5 and 6, what does God promise and what are the conditions for each promise?
6. Read Luke 8:11-15. What is the seed? Why don’t those in verse 12 produce a crop? Verse 13? Verse 14? Why do those in verse 15 produce one?
7. How does Galatians 6:9 convey the element of time in the process of the harvest? How could you apply this verse to situations you’re facing right now?
