Behold, bless the Lord,
All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord! v.1
Read chapter 134
This is the last step in the psalm of ascents that started in chapter 120. The destination has been reached and the psalmist sings out praises in blessings to the Lord. The sojourner didn't quick stand in line for some fast food that he could only get in Jerusalem or go get the best discounts in the market, but did what he came to do: bless the Lord. So when we arrive where we're headed each day we ought to do what God created us to do: bring Him glory. How easy it is to get distracted of what we came to do and not that those things are bad but God deserves the priority. The journey might have worn us out that we just want to indulge in something to treat ourselves, but that can also distract us form our focus of the goal of our destination.
The destination of any trip sets the tone of the travel. As the sojourner in a foreign journeyed home to Jerusalem so we're sojourners in this present world till we enter the Kingdom. What is your tone of travel?
