Summary

When you take a roadtrip, you typically have a few songs ready to play as you travel. In the Old Testament, people also sang songs to pass the time, one of which was Psalms 121, a song of ascents. They sang this song as a reminder of God’s protection as they headed towards Jerusalem. God is just as present with us in the journey as in the final destination.
