A psalm of ascents to be sung while entering Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. According to wikipedia, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, and attacked 52 times. Even today there is conflict and unrest in this holy city.

In Psalm 122, David demonstrates his love for Jerusalem and his people, Israel. Reading his request to pray for peace in Jerusalem has echoed through the many generations that followed him.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces.” Psalm 122:6-7

One day there will be peace in Jerusalem.

See you tomorrow for psalm 123.

Day 121, Psalm 121

I spent years looking for help in all the wrong places. The help was temporary, complicated and at times harmful. Sometimes I needed help from my help.

Every time I sought help from the Lord and stayed out of His way, His help was comprehensive and long-lasting. It often multiplied, answering situations I would face in the future.

My experience with the Lord gives me confidence to pray the last two verses of this psalm over my sons and grandsons. Encouraging them always to find their true help from the Lord.

The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your life.The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do] From this time forth and forever. Psalm 121:7-8

See you tomorrow for Psalm 122.
