In this devotional volume Alec Motyer delves into the songbook of the Jewish people on their annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Exploring the background and themes in these psalms he draws out their application for travellers on the Christian journey today.
Psalms 120-134, possibly the most exquisite single group of psalms, are described as 'Songs of Ascents'. They recall the journeys of pilgrims from all over the land 'up' to Jerusalem to keep the feasts of the Lord. And as the people walked, they sang.
God's people today may not make quite such a journey but, as Alec Motyer contests, in living the Christian life we have all embarked on a pilgrimage of the heart. The life of faith is to be lived on the move, through varying terrains but with a single destination - as we walk with eyes fixed on Jesus.
A devotional read to hearten both weary and sure-footed travellers.
