Psalms for the Traveler

The traveler's ultimate destination is the presence of God. In the final two "song of degrees" we are given a picture of the unity and joy that is found in His presence. We will enjoy it together soon in Heaven, but we can enjoy it even now.

In the longest of the traveler's psalms we find the one thing that must not be forgotten. Like mile markers and landmarks along the route, God points out truths that all of us must remember.

Nothing will hinder your journey into the presence of God like pride. The baggage and burden of the self life always keeps you from moving forward. In three simple verses God outlines the life of humility and the way to live it.

Every day is not easy. At times we all feel as if we are living in the depths of despair. There are four things that you can do at your lowest point. God will meet you there!

What do you do when faced with challenging circumstances and individuals? When stress, strain, and struggle come into your life follow the pattern given to us by the psalmist in Psalm 129.

The greatest blessings are not things; they are the people God has given us to make the journey with! Learn the way to God's blessing in your heart and in your home.

You are not making this journey through life alone. God gives us family so that we can make the trip together. The Lord has lessons for us and for our children in this family psalm. Read it together and ask God to bring it home to you.

Travelers get weary. Relief and refreshment comes from the Lord. He has helped us this far and He will not fail us now! Cry out to Him in faith and believe that He will meet every need.

There are dangers on every journey. Our safety comes from the One who is traveling with us. Discover the promise and principles of divine protection in this brief psalm.

Have you ever thought about what life would be like if the Lord had not worked in your life? Where would you be? Take the time today to think of what God has kept you from and sing a song of praise to Him!
