Psalm 134 marks the last of the Psalms of Ascents. The call to worship is clear in this psalm. "Bless the Lord" as a command appears twice reminding us that worship is not about us, but about the Creator. Verse 3 pronounces a blessing then upon you the reader. What a beautiful blessing directly from the Lord. Enjoy reading the psalm. Thanks for following along on this "road back". 'May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth!'

Psalm 132 invites us to join in and realize the promises to David. The worshipers going up to Jerusalem celebrated the establishment of David's throne and also his desire to establish Jerusalem as the place to gather to worship. God's promise to David that this psalm connects to is fulfilled in Jesus. I hope you spend time in this psalm today and take time to thank God for promises fulfilled in Jesus.

Today, we come to Psalm 131 in our series "A Playlist for the Road Back". We at times are called upon to fix things that are much bigger than ourselves. We still try. Psalm 131 is a call to place our hope entirely in the Lord Himself. Our experience then is like the contentment of the child with  his or her mother that the writer describes in verse two. Take some time today and allow the Psalm to "speak for you". Thanks for stopping by. The study guide can be found here.
