April 29

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 a 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 Scripture Reading 

Psalm 121

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 121: 2 (GNT)

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. My help comes from you and I trust in your steadfast love and care. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those planning to make a pilgrimage.

Tomorrow’s Reading
