I have been wanting to understand more fully the Old Testament Feasts of the Lord ever since my journey of the tabernacle last year. The opportunity for study has opened up through Beth Moore’s Bible study Stepping Up. I am so excited to take this journey. I am filled with wonder to see more of Christ through the shadows in the Old Testament Scriptures.
So today I begin a pilgrimage through the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134). These were the songs sung by the Jews as they traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the Lord’s appointed feasts. Songs sung as they ascended the stairs to the temple, drawing closer to Yahweh. Jesus celebrated the feasts. He journeyed with his family to Jerusalem. These Psalms poured from his lips. The feasts were a part of his life as he grew in wisdom and the grace of God that was on him.
I read these words from Jezamama and they bless me as I begin to travel…
The pilgrim: "He is on a journey. It is an important journey and one he has undertaken only after long and careful consideration. Now he is totally dedicated to it. He does not pursue his goal with frenzied haste. He moves deliberately and steadily, yet he seems to have ample time to enjoy what he encounters along the way – flowers, children, fresh grass, the sun, villagers, great libraries, and lonely caves.” (Richard Peace, Pilgrimage: A Handbook on Christian Growth)

May this journey lead you to a place of depth in Him and the scriptures that will keep calling you back for years to come. The Psalms are my favorite!
