PRAYING SCRIPTURE
Psalm 124:1–8
David pondered what life would be like without God in this short psalm. He concluded that the Israelites would have been devoured by their enemies (v. 3), just for starters. Yet following God is not risk-free. Jesus told His disciples that following Him would include suffering and sorrows (John 15:20–21; 16:33). But His way is also the path to joy, peace, and life (John 10:10). As we live in alignment with God, we know that He is our deliverer (v. 8). Without the Lord, we would have remained in darkness. As you pray through this psalm, give thanks and praise to the Lord for the many ways He has delivered you.

Historically, the Psalms of Ascent were songs worshipers sang as they traveled to the temple or national festivals. Excerpts are from The Abide Bible, which provides various Scripture engagement tools--including praying, journaling, contemplating, and more--to help you meet God in God's Word so He can transform your life.
