THE TRAVELLER’S PSALM
TUESDAY, MAY 28
Psalm 121:1-8
Philippians 4:4-9
 
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.”
 
THE TRAVELLER’S PSALM
 
The context of this Psalm is a vast desert country through which the psalmist is travelling. The most trying situation is a plain full of nothing but burning sand, under a burning sun. A saving feature is the sudden appearance of a hill in the distance. Such a hill is a shelter for the traveller, where there are rock caves and a source of flowing water. Engedi is such a place where tourists to the Holy Land visit. It is an oasis.
 
We are travellers on a spiritual journey. On such a journey the weary traveller also needs succour. We need first of all to come to Golgotha, the hill where our Saviour was crucified for our sins to give us life. But even before that, we have to go to Mt Sinai where Moses gave us God’s law. We cannot keep the law, and this drives us to Christ.
 
How many mountains with spiritual significance are there in the Bible that you can count? Scofield gives us a list of twenty. What spiritual significance connected with the following selected ten can you find?

THOUGHT: “Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thy agony, Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.”
PRAYER: (Use Psalm 24:3-4.)
