A Year in Luke/ActsНамуна

Psalm 121 is a song of ascents, to be sung when going up to Jerusalem for a festival or celebration. As Paul made his way to Jerusalem, we might wonder if he shared some of these psalms with his Gentile companions on the way. Knowing the risk he was taking after all the warnings, this particular psalm might have been in Paul’s mind.

We see a total trust in his destiny from Paul. What does it look like for us to live like this? These psalms remind us of the importance of gathering together and where our help comes from. We can encourage one another that the Lord watches over us in every season of life.
