SERMON REVIEW:  “I Can’t Believe What I’m Seeing!  Is This Real?”  Psalm 126
       When the Jewish people returned to the Land of Promise from a 70 year exile in Babylon they had trouble believing it was really happening.  Their life, dreams and hope had been so shattered that they had given up all hope of a quality future.  But, miraculously,  God brought them back to their home.  They asked themselves, “is this a dream?  Is this really happening?”.  When the reality set in that it was true, they erupted in joy and laughter.  Their joy came back!
       Maybe you can identify.  When you look at what God has done for you, maybe it seems like a dream come true!  Can this be real?  Can things really be this good for me?  
        God always exceeds our expectations!  Make sure you take time today to thank God for his love, grace, forgiveness and restoration!  🤲🤲🤲
