A Journey of Worship:
The Psalms of Ascent

In ancient times, the Israelites took journeys to the temple in Jerusalem to worship. These were sacred occasions during yearly festivals. Their journeys included singing the Songs of Ascent, a collection of Psalms 120-134. These songs reminded them of God's grace and mercy. They also reminded them of His provision, protection, and salvation. These reminders were especially comforting during challenging times.

Recently, my husband and I have been reading through the stories of the Bible with our daughter each night before her bedtime. Sharing these biblical accounts has not only been beneficial to her, as she is beginning to understand and connect the stories of the Bible, but it has also helped me to see them in a new light through the fresh eyes of my child. The last few weeks have found us chronicling Israel’s Exodus from Egypt and the years they wandered in the wilderness before finally entering the Promised Land. This period in the life of God’s chosen people is marked by a repeated pattern—one even our young daughter quickly picked up on.

God would deliver or provide for Israel in a miraculous/powerful way.
The people would be momentarily grateful for His deliverance and provision.
When the difficulty presented itself, the people would complain, leading to sin.
