Message: “Week 17. Songs of Ascent – Hallelujah” from Eric Djafroodi

Psalm 131 explores the idea of Humility. It is a prayer-song that some people are reluctant to recite or sing, because its claims are so bold! But it comes to us, not as a command to be humble, but as the honest prayer and testimony of a person who has spent his adult life working on humility through his failures and successes. An honest person knows that he or she is not perfectly humble, but this Psalm gives us a challenge to keep working at it. Rather than seeking our own greatness, we are challenged to be satisfied with having the Great Jehovah in our lives at all times. We, along with Israel, are to hope in Him now and forevermore!

From Series: "Songs of Ascent"

The Songs (or Psalms) of ascent are 15 psalms that pilgrims would sing or recite on their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast days. They were reminders of God’s grace and goodness. These songs were and are reminders of what discipleship looks like as we walk in relationship with God in our own lives. We will use these 15 songs to travel us towards our holiday of Christmas because (as all things do in the Bible), they ultimately point to Jesus the founder and perfecter of our faith.
