Psalm 84:5: Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms

The blessedness of sacred worship belongs not to halfhearted, listless worshipers, but to those who throw all their energies into it. When we have God’s ways in our hearts, and our heart in his ways, we are what and where we should be, and hence we shall enjoy the divine approval. 1

Living the Transformed Life

I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8

  • The pilgrimage requires our lives to be set upon receiving His Holy Spirit Power.
  • The pilgrimage requires our heart to be set upon believing His Holy Word.
  • The pilgrimage requires our will to be set upon surrendering to His will.

The blessing is in the journey, not in the destination.

Praise and Prayer

Thank You, Father, for being the strength of my life. Dear Jesus, please teach me to rely upon You for everything, at all times.
