Today’s passage: Psalm 122
Helpful thoughts:
- The Psalmist was excited to go to Jerusalem and the Temple for worship, and in this psalm his eager expectation become reality.
- When we pray for peace in Jerusalem, ultimately we are praying for the return of Christ!
- When Jerusalem rested in peace, God’s people could freely go and worship. When Christ returns, all will be made right.
Questions to consider:
- How would these prayers and striving for peace have been seen and desired in before Christ came and the New Covenant was established? What did the times when Jerusalem fell do to the worship of God’s people?
- How does this psalm become a prayer for Christ’s return? What do we look forward to when He rules and reigns from Jerusalem?
- How can this eagerness to worship encourage you on Sundays as you prepare to go to worship with the body of Christ?
