The Israelites had been carried away not Babylonian.The harps they possessed and been used to praise God with and were symbols of joy ,worship ,service ,and victory.
But here in this far away heathen land they hung their harps up
Their son is gone ,their worship is over.
Their service and victory are only memories.
We might ask,"where are our harps today?"

  • Have we song

  • What of our worship ?

  • Where is the service and victories we once knew?

We are discussing two sub-topics here . Namely:

  • Brought sorrow and remorse
  • It put them beyond the reach of helping others.

A) BOUGHT SORROW AND REMORSE

Psalm 138:1
If we think for one minute that we can be Happy out of God's will we are kidding ourselves -We are duped by the devil.
Down through the years we have talked with people who once walked with God ,talked with God , worship God ,used their talents in His service.

But like Is real,have hung their harps up,they have testified that life was a hell on Earth for them even though they had gone far and was very successful in the wars of the world
Successful in the world's way but paupers in spiritual matters.The same thing can happen to you.

B ) IT PUT THEM BEYOUND THE REACH OF HELPING OTHERS .PSALM 138:3

Here the Babylonians we're crying out for the Help.They wanted to hear the people Isreal play on the harps ,they wanted to hear the songs of Zion.
But the Isrealites could not and would not.

David would not attempt to witness while in a sinful and backslidden condition.Psalm 51:12-13
That is true with all of us .we cannot even witness to our own children when we have "hung up or harps"
Yes did run well,who did hinder you?

So are you in the right place and in practice doing what God want you to do and do you have plans to keep serving him?
Even the heathen in this town wants you to live what you profess.

Dedicate yourself to His will and find the happiness this world will wish it had when they stand eternity.
