Ascents

In my Bible it notes that Psalms 120-134 are psalms of ascents that the Israelites would sing on their way to Jerusalem to celebrate festivals.

My Bible also lists a word of meaning for each psalm and I have tried to focus on seeing this word in these Psalms:
120-Repentance
121-Providence
122-Worship
123-Service
124-Help
125-Security
126-Joy
127-Work
128-Happiness
129-Perseverance
130-Hope
131-Humility
132-Obedience
133-Community
134-Blessing

Hi Aphra- you write so thoughtfully and expressively here in all your take on the Psalms. I really like thinking about the thoughts you glean from your own studies of them. Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my blog, it means alot and you help me to pursue seeking Him even more which is the title of my blog after all lol Hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful weekend

Thanks Robert. I like your blog a lot! Your blog has a lot of depth. I have one blog that I don't link on the sidebar http://mystuffing.blogspot.com/
I haven't told my family about it which is why I don't link it. I don't think they read my Bible blog, so I could link it here, but they know about the Bible blog, so I don't!
