Where do you look for your sense of strength and security in life? Are you fed up enough with the false promises of security that this world offers to turn your gaze to Jesus instead? That is what Psalm 121 invites us to do on the faith journey of our lives.
Series Information
This series looks at the songs ancient pilgrims used to sing as they made their way to Jerusalem.. When Judah and Israel were conquered their people were sent out all over the ancient world. This was called the Diaspora, or dispersion. Three times a year, Pentecost, Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, Jews from various parts of the world would celebrate religious feasts by making pilgrimages to Jerusalem, to worship in the Temple. As they walked up the hill toward the Temple they would sing Psalms 120-134, the "Songs of Ascent."
