There isn't a Crosswalk gathering that I don't learn something I NEVER knew before!
Marty Klusmeier Instructed on the Psalms of Ascent or Pilgrimage. Ps.120-134. (Road trip, the Musical!) These were songs(whose melodies have been lost over time) that God provided to the Israelites to sing as they returned from Babylon( about 750 miles) and as they traveled into Jerusalem to observe the Feasts! Wow, God has been known to provide pillars of fire and of smoke for direction and manna and quail for food, part waters, provide water, and now songs to sing on the way. These Psalms weren't just praise-happy songs, some of them are grumbling-help me songs. So the take-away? God is there on our life-travels, and He'll hear our heart no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in.
Trivia: Why are these called 'Songs of Ascent"…what are they ascending?
