Psalms of Ascents
On Sundays this summer, we'll explore the Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120 - 134) together. This particular group of psalms is all about being on a journey with God-- being a pilgrim in pursuit of God’s loving presence. The journey involves heartache, oppression, sadness, hope, joy, and rescue.
If we’re pilgrims, where are we going? Our Psalmist (in Psalm 122 this week) confidently says: Jerusalem.
We might want to rejoice with those who say, “let us go to the house of the Lord” (Ps 122:1). But we might also ask, “can you share those GPS coordinates right quick?” Our path to any physical place, in these times, is fraught. Is there any sterling city anymore? Is there any place to shout God’s praise that will also not make us wail? This Sunday, we’ll unpack where we, as God’s people, go to praise, to pray for peace, and to seek prosperity for God’s house. GPS guidance not included.
