Sunday Psalms;

A pilgrimage song.

Everyone who honors the LORD, who walks in God's ways, is truly happy!  

Psalms 128:1 CEB

Happiness is not a commodity that we can buy.

The word here is "esher"

Blessedness.

Happiness.

This is a pilgrimage song, a song of ascents, of movement, of direction.

So if we see "happiness" or "blessedness" not as a destination, but as a product of the journey, something that happens in us as a result of choosing to honour God, of walking in His ways, wherever we find ourselves.

At work.

On holiday.

In good times.

In grief.

In prosperity.

In struggle.

When we are in good health.

When we're hard pressed with our limitations.

Wherever we find ourselves today, this song of pilgrimage invites us to walk in God's ways, and when we choose that, then something shifts in those deepest parts of ourselves that communes in some mysterious way with the Eternal.

Whatever that pilgrimage step looks like for you today, may the result be that you will know that you are Beloved.
