Psalm 134:1-3 “A Song of Ascents. Look! Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who stand by night in the LORD’s house! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise the LORD! May the LORD bless you from Zion, even he who made heaven and earth.”

As they head towards Jerusalem to worship, their thoughts go toward those who are standing guard in the temple precincts. “How much greater will your service be if you worship and praise while you’re there? How much more will you be blessed by the God of Zion!?!”

It’s a reminder to us to use idle moments in our lives and find a way to get closer to God during them. Singing in the car. Listening to Scripture while we walk. Praying in the doctor’s office! Insert your own!

For additional worship: Psalm 134 (Poor Bishop Hooper)
