I call unto You to rescue me because there are so many who use Your word to make it say things that You have never said. With such convincing persuasive talk they quote scripture after scripture, deceivingly twisting it to make it justify their lies. Some have the audacity to say, "The Lord spoke to me." Though many know the truth, yet they pull text out of context. Their words are a mixture of truth and lies. I need discernment to identify the lies which is so cleverly concealed with the truth. Give me this discernment Adonai. Rescue me for You know that all my heart longs for is You. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Song of Ascents comprises of a collection of 15 psalms from
Psalm 120 to 134. While there are a number of suggestions as to what the
phrase, “Song of Ascents” could mean, one thought is that these psalms were
sung by Israel as they went up to Jerusalem to celebrate the three annual
feasts that the Lord had commanded (Lev. 23; Ex. 23:14).
We are in the midst of the Feast of
Unleavened Bread which started on the 15th day of the first month of
the Biblical calendar (or on the evening of March 30, 2018). During this seven
day feast, Israel went up to Jerusalem singing these Songs of Ascent.
My purpose of posting a verse from these psalms each
day (during these days between the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of
Weeks (Shavuot) which in Greek is called Pentecost) is so that we too—if you
are a son (or daughter) of Israel, even though you once may have been a Gentile
but now through the great grace shown to us by the Father and through the blood
of the Messiah Yeshua—can pilgrim into the presence of the Most High God (for
we are the temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in us) singing these psalms
to Him who sits on the throne (in heaven and in our hearts).
Join with me then O son of Israel and let us exalt the name
of our God together as we pilgrim on His appointed feast days just as He
commanded.
