Psalm 134
Bless The Lord and Be Blessed
Scripture: Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD
Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the LORD! (v. 1a, 2)
Observation:
Psalm 134 is the third of the triad of Songs of Ascents (Psalm 132-134) – songs sung by pilgrims when they arrive in Zion. The pilgrims bless the Lord (vv.1-2) and the Lord blesses them (v.3) to be channels of blessings to others.
Application:
Psalm 134 ought to encourage us in our own pilgrim journey to continually draw near to God and daily dwell in His presence. Let us look to the Source of all good things and untiringly praise Him daily for His mercy and grace.
The life that blesses God is a life that is blessed by God. His blessing starts from Zion but then it goes wherever His people go. His blessing is not just for heaven, but for every day we live here on earth as well.
Prayer:
Dear Father in heaven, the Maker of heaven and earth, we praise You and bless You from whom all blessings flow! May the life that You bless continually bring glory and honor to Your Name as we go and make Your Name known. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
