As a sojourner on earth, how I long for Your appearing Adonai. I await Thee with eager anticipation, knowing that You will transform me, the perishable with the imperishable, and I will enter into that rest that
You have prepared for Thy people.
Come Adonai Yeshua! For too long has my soul had its dwelling among those who hate peace.
Until that day however, I ask that You will sustain and keep me. I take refuge in Thee,
my shield and my everlasting reward.
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).
Today is the conclusion 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.
