Finding Your Song | Psalm.137:1-9

Christian Life

One test of your spiritual condition is whether or not you really have a song. Psalm 137 tells us about people who lost their song. They lost it because they lost their sanctity—they repeatedly sinned against the Lord. Here’s the record in vv.1-3, the Babylonians taunting the Jews to sing a song, a song of Zion. The Jews responded, “How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land?” (V.4). It can be done. They were there because of their disobedience, and they had lost their song. But even in a foreign land, we can have a song to the Lord. Jesus came down to earth from heaven, and He had a song. In fact, the night on which He was betrayed, He sang a song of Zion in the upper room (Matt.26:30). When you’re not walking with the Lord, you lost your song and start living on memories (vv.5a,6c). Are you living on memories, or are you daily receiving blessings from the Lord? In versus 7 to 9 we find the Jews looking for revenge. But as Christians, we must think first of forgiveness. *******^******* If you are without your song, living on memories and looking for revenge, you are not walking closely with the Lord. Your first task is to get that song back by confessing your sins to the Lord. God will restore the joy of your salvation.
