My God of Great Deeds: Rev Peter Ameadaji

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