The Psalms of Ascent (120-134) contain rich imagery and powerful notes as we are led to praise God through a variety of life situations. What does it look like to trust God with our anger? How can a life be truly blessed and built to last? When is a family happy? Where does God treasure most of all places on this earth? How can we worship as we go through life's journey?
These songs explore these questions and many more. Like the pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem, this devotion series helps parents take their children through what it means to worship God in various aspects of life. The series can be accessed HERE.
There are 15 family devotions that cover numerous rich topics. Each devotion is designed to last about 15 minutes. Our family used the Pilgrim's Progress movie. We also used the Seeds Family Worship song on Psalm 62 (see below):
The main idea of this devotion series is this: Just as travelers to Jerusalem worshiped God along the way, we can learn to worship God as we journey.
Here's a brief summary of the 15 devotions:
- 120 = God saves us from the City of Destruction
- 121 = God watches over us
- 122 = God grants us true peace in Jesus Christ
- 123 = We should watch (wait) for God
- 124 = God helps us like rescuing a trapped bird
- 125 = God removes wicked rulers
- 126 = God restores us, so take 1 day @ a time
- 127 = God gives children as gifts, like arrows to fly
- 128 = God gives those who fear Him happy work, homes, cities, and futures
- 129 = God gives perfect vengeance, so trust Him with our anger
- 130 = God wants us to trust Him to forgive and redeem us, so we should wait for him like a night guard waits for sunrise.
- 131 = God calms us if we will trust Him and not be proud
- 132 = God promised to make David a dynasty when David offered to make God a house and one day we will sing joyfully to God forever
- 133 = God gives us the gift of family, so we should show kindness to one another
- 134 = May God make us truly happy from Jerusalem
