Today on Meditating the Word, we read several of the Songs of Ascents, also called Pilgrim Songs. Jews traveling to Jerusalem for one of the three main annual festivals traditionally sang these songs on the “ascent” or the uphill road to the city. The Jewish priests also sang some of these Songs of Ascent as they walked up the steps to the temple in Jerusalem.
This is Day 110. Today we are reading Psalms 121, 123-125, and 128-130

Father God, you are so good to us. You hear us when we call to you. In Jesus, we have forgiveness, not just from our sins of the past, but even for any sin we may commit in the future. We are in awe of your unending mercy and your faithful loving kindness. Thank you, Father, for all of the blessings you have given us through Jesus our Savior. Amen.
