「We hung our harps

　Upon the willows in the midst of it.」　Amen

　Tears of regret, tears of disappointment, and tears of longing must have been shed. Under such circumstances, he brought his lyre to praise God, but he did not feel like it. They could not play it for entertainment in front of their enemies. They were taken to Babylon as a captive people, and the pagan land must have been miserable for them, despised by their enemies, and filled with a strong sense of nostalgia. The God of promise will let them return after 70 years.　May we be thankful for His plan today....　　God bless you.   See you next week.
