SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

November 15

It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion’s exiles.  We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our good fortune.  We were the talk of the nations—“God was wonderful to them!”  God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people.  And now, God, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken lives so those who planted their crops in despair will shout “Yes!” at the harvest, so those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.

Psalm 126 (MSG)

What if the tears you shed today are watering the possibilities you will celebrate tomorrow? In Psalm 126 (MSG), God's restoration turns sorrow into laughter and reminds us that seeds planted through tears can produce a joyful harvest. Experiencing The Holy means recognizing that God is still restoring what life has diminished and renewing what seemed impossible. Living High And Lifted Up means celebrating yesterday's victories while believing that God is not finished restoring our lives. Our Black communities know the power of sowing through struggle, but our inheritance must include joy, prosperity, and opportunities beyond survival. Dream Big, because yesterday's harvest is not the limit of tomorrow's possibilities. Decide To Become a sower of hope, even through tears. Demonstrate Your Power by planting today what future generations deserve to harvest.
