In the closing words of Psalm 134, the final Psalm of Ascent, we are reminded of God’s blessings and told to praise him unceasingly. Even in the midst of difficult situations, we can praise the Lord because of the blessing of faith by grace we’ve received from God, a blessing meant to be shared with others as we continue our journey.

This Sunday we’re starting a new series called Songs for the Journey. Nestled in the back of the book of Psalms is a little collection called “The Songs of Ascent.” We begin this Sunday with Psalm 120- a psalm that reminds us that we must be fed up with the world around us before we are ready to walk the hard path of discipleship.
