Psalm 121 is a psalm of ascents, sung by the ancient Israelites as they made the long, often arduous pilgrimage to Jerusalem and up the Temple Mount, where God's presence dwelled. Whatever suffering or circumstances they endured, whatever doubts or uncertainty they faced, they knew God alone was their help and would keep them to the end.
As followers of Jesus, we too are on a pilgrimage as we entrust ourselves more fully to God's will and lay down our ambitions to follow him. Moranda Anderson, director of our children's ministry at All Saints Church, shares some of her own story and reminds us to lift our eyes, remember God's ways, and journey with confidence as we ascend his holy mountain together.
