Daily Bible Reading - November 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Praise and ThanksgivingSample
November 15
Introduction
Today’s reading is from a section in the book of Psalms entitled “Songs of Ascents” (Psalms 120-134). These psalms were used by pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem from various parts of the land. Jerusalem is built on a hill, and the Temple was located on the hill called Zion. These “Songs of Ascents” were probably used by worshipers as they were “going up” to Jerusalem for one of the major festivals. Psalm 121 expresses assurance of God’s protection as pilgrims made their way to and from Jerusalem.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 121:2
My help will come from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Reflect
What question is raised in verse 1? How does the remainder of the psalm answer the question? When have you sought help from God?
Pray
Lord God, you are my protector and you are always awake, watching over me. My help comes from you and I trust in your never-failing love and care. Amen.
