"Lift Up Your Hands in the Sanctuary" - Psalms 133 & 134
This morning, we wrap up our series entitled STEPPING STONES - a study through the Songs of Ascent, Psalms 120-134. These psalms were sung on pilgrimages as people went up to Jerusalem to worship in the temple. In this series, we will see how these songs act as stepping stones on the path of discipleship - as we travel the road of faith.
PSALM 133 (NIV)
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
PSALM 134 (NIV)
Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. May the LORD bless you from Zion, he who is the Maker of heaven and earth.
